a

Excludes women who had genetic counseling prior to their physician visit date (n = 2,781) or women who had >365 days between physician visit and genetic counseling dates (n = 196).

b

At time of High Risk OBSP referral.

c

If a woman met more than one risk criterion after genetic assessment, the following hierarchy was selected: carrier of a deleterious gene mutation, family history and ≥25% lifetime risk, first‐degree relative of a mutation carrier (but declined genetic testing).

d

Based on International Breast Cancer Intervention Study (IBIS) and/or Breast and Ovarian Analysis of Disease Incidence of Carrier Estimation Algorithm (BOADICEA).
