Education and Outreach for Breast Imaging and Breast Cancer Patients

Abstract

In October 2003, we completed data collection on 123 subjects for the research project: Evaluating the Effect of Inormed Consent and Procedure Scheduling on Breast biopsy Patient Outcomes. This project evaluated the impact of visual educational aids during biopsy consent on patient understanding of the biopsy procedure, patient satisfaction with the biopsy experience, and patient anxiety. These patients are also asked a series of questions about the scheduling of their procedure (same day as work-up vs. days later) to determine women's preferences and expectations.
