Univariate analyses (χ2-test) of support of risk-stratified breast cancer screening.
| Variable | Good/very good idea (vs. bad/very bad idea/not sure) to vary frequency of BC screening by risk |
Happy/very happy (vs. very unhappy/unhappy/not sure) to have more frequent BC screening if at higher risk |
Happy/very happy (vs. very unhappy/unhappy/not sure) to have less frequent BC screening if at lower risk |
