About this study

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

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
