Table 2.
Multivariate logistic regression of predictors of attitudes to risk-stratified breast cancer screening including genetic risk.
| Variable | Good/very good idea (vs. bad/very bad idea/not sure) of varying frequency of BC screening by personal risk |
Happy/very happy (vs. very unhappy/unhappy/not sure) to have BC screening more often if found at higher risk |
Happy/very happy (vs. very unhappy/unhappy/not sure) to have BC screening less often if found to be at lower risk |
