%X Background. Guidelines recommend that initiation of breast cancer screening (BCS) among women aged 40 to 49 years include a shared decision-making process. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a breast cancer screening patient decision-aid (BCS-PtDA) on the strength of the relationship between individual risk and the decision to initiate BCS, knowledge, and decisional conflict. Methods. We conducted a randomized clinical trial of a BCS-PtDA that included individual risk estimates compared with usual care. Participants were women 39 to 48 years of age with no previous mammogram. Primary outcomes were strength of association between breast cancer risk and mammography uptake at 12 months, knowledge, and decisional conflict. Results. Of 204 participants, 65% were Black, the median age (interquartile range [IQR]) was 40.0 years (39.0每42.0), and median (IQR) breast cancer lifetime risk was 9.7% (9.2每11.1). Women who received mammography at 12 months had higher breast cancer lifetime risk than women who had not in both intervention (mean, 95% CI): 12.2% (10.8每13.6) versus 10.5% (9.8每11.2), P = 0.04, and control groups: 11.8% (10.4每13.1) versus 9.9% (9.2每10.6), P = 0.02. However, there was no difference between groups in the strength of association between mammography uptake and breast cancer risk (P = 0.87). Follow-up knowledge (0每5) was greater in the intervention versus control group (mean, 95% CI): 3.84 (3.5每4.2) versus 3.17 (2.8每3.5), P = 0.01. There was no change in decisional conflict score (1每100) between the intervention versus control group (mean, 95% CI): 24.8 (19.5每30.2) versus 32.4 (25.9每39.0), P = 0.07. Conclusions. The BCS-PtDA improved knowledge but did not affect risk-based decision making regarding age of initiation of BCS. These findings indicate the complexity of changing behaviors to incorporate objective risk in the medical decision-making process
