This randomized, paired, pre\u2010post study was conducted in six community pharmacies and two health\u2010screening fairs; subjects were 140 women over 18 years of age. The pharmacist\u2010administered program used the Breast Cancer Risk\u2010Assessment Tool (Gail model) software provided by the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health. In addition, pharmacists provided education and training on breast self\u2010examination (BSE), clinical breast examination (CBE), and mammography. Adherence to ACS guidelines for monthly BSE increased from 31% to 56% (p&lt;0.001) for all women 6 months after the program. Performance of monthly BSE by women considered at high risk for developing breast cancer increased from 20% to 60% (p&lt;0.005). The mean number of BSEs performed over 6 months increased from 2.69 to 4.09 (p&lt;0.001). Women's confidence performing correct BSE improved from 6.41 to 7.04 (p&lt;0.001) on a scale of 0\u201310. Adherence to ACS guidelines for CBE and mammography did not reveal statistically significant improvements except for better adherence to CBE in women aged 40\u201349 years (81% to 97%, p&lt;0.025). The strength of the pharmacists' intervention may not appear as manipulation of high\u2010risk patients' behavior but as improvement of self\u2010directed behaviors, such as BSE, across all age groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1592\/phco.21.2.243.34100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,6,7]],"date-time":"2004-06-07T05:03:57Z","timestamp":1086584637000},"page":"243-253","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Results of a Community Pharmacy\u2010Based Breast Cancer Risk\u2010Assessment and Education Program"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Joel T.","family":"Giles","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel T.","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erin C.","family":"Dunn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Whitney L.","family":"Wallace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie L.","family":"Meadows","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angela C.","family":"Cafiero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","unstructured":"Virginia Department of HealthHome page.
