Summary

After the 2024 US guideline shift to biennial breast cancer screening, a study of 300 screening-eligible women were shown more likely to prefer screening starting in their 40s. Once introduced to the guidelines changes, preferences were shaped by understanding of benefits, personal risk, and family history. Women also wanted clearer information about screening benefits and harms before deciding when and how often to screen.
