摘要：

Background: Innovative technologies that enable the collection of family history information and the assessment of breast cancer risk have a potential to enhance the quality of preventive care. We developed a computerized tool that supports stratification of breast cancer risk, genetic risk assessment in the clinical environment (GRACE). Methods: In a preliminary evaluation of the tool's impact, we randomized women with a family history of breast cancer (n = 72) to either use the GRACE tool or undergo risk counseling by a nurse specialist. Results: There was no statistically significant differences between the GRACE and nurse counselling groups in risk perceptions (F = .03 P > .05) and cancer-related worries (F = .80, P > .05). However, patients reported more positive attitudes toward working with the nurse. Conclusion: It was feasible to use GRACE in a Clinic. Additional research is required to identify solutions for providing emotional support in conjunction with the tool. (c) 2005 International Society for Preventive Oncology. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
