Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study is investigating the feasibility of a digital tool called a chatbot for providing educational information about mammography through a tablet, computer, or phone. This study will recruit participants who recently had a mammogram with the University of Utah. Based on their mammography results, women will be placed into two cohorts using their BI-RADS category. Once mammogram results are available, patients will be randomized 1:1 to either usual care or usual care with chatbot. This study will randomly invite participants from four groups for focus group discussions (FGDs) based on their mammogram results and adherence to screening recommendations

- measure
- Screening Adherence
- timeFrame
- up to 24 months from initiation of study intervention
- description
- This outcome measure will test the addition of virtual navigation to usual processes of care to increase screening adherence for underserved women undergoing mobile mammography who have an abnormal breast cancer screening exam. Screening adherence will be measured as a two-point survey item (Yes/No). This outcome measure will report the proportion of participants who self-reported screening adherence.
