Abstract

We developed and studied a Website to promote breast cancer screening and allow women to access personalized risk and screening information. The site also provides a database of risk and screening information with multimedia enhancement, and direct interaction with experts and online communities. The site was studied to measure its effectiveness in motivating screening intentions and behaviors among a group of women subjects.
