Purpose To explore the causes of breast cancer by creating a network of research centers in which: multidisciplinary teams of scientists, clinicians, and breast cancer advocates work together on a multidisciplinary teams of scientists, clinicians, and breast cancer advocates work together on a unique set of scientific questions that focus on unique set of scientific questions that focus on chemical, physical, biological, and social factors in the environment that chemical, physical, biological, and social factors in the environment that work together with genetic factors and lead to breast cancer work together with genetic factors and lead to breast cancer

Overall Goal To develop public health messages for To develop public health messages for young girls and women who are at high risk for breast cancer young girls and women who are at high risk for breast cancer about the role(s) of specific environmental stressors in breast cancer about the role(s) of specific environmental stressors in breast cancer and how to reduce exposures to these stressors. and how to reduce exposures to these stressors.

Basic Science Collaborative Project A.Normal mammary gland development using mouse model. B.How do environmental stressors such as diet and chemical/hormonal exposures during pregnancy and prior to puberty alter normal development at puberty and eventual sexual maturity? C.How do alterations in normal development at puberty and sexual maturity caused by environmental stressors affect breast cancer development after exposure to a known carcinogen? Progesterone and mammary gland development

MSU Focus Group Study Community-based formative research Community-based formative research Ten focus groups (N=91) Ten focus groups (N=91) 6 adolescent girl groups 6 adolescent girl groups 4 mother groups 4 mother groups EAs, AAs, Latinos EAs, AAs, Latinos 4 counties in Michigan 4 counties in Michigan Data transcribed and coded Data transcribed and coded

MSU Focus Group Study Awareness of breast cancer Awareness of breast cancer Beliefs about severity, susceptibility, and efficacy Beliefs about severity, susceptibility, and efficacy Beliefs about breast cancer, role of the environment (physical and lifestyle) Beliefs about breast cancer, role of the environment (physical and lifestyle) Useful for audience analysis to tailor message content Useful for audience analysis to tailor message content

MSU Focus Group Study Evidence of knowledge deficits Evidence of knowledge deficits Evidence of lack of link between breast cancer and the environment, particularly among adolescents Evidence of lack of link between breast cancer and the environment, particularly among adolescents Evidence of lack of understanding of the role of prevention in decreasing risk Evidence of lack of understanding of the role of prevention in decreasing risk Evidence of lack of motivation to engage in healthy behaviors Evidence of lack of motivation to engage in healthy behaviors

Barriers to Effective Health and Risk Communication Abstractness Abstractness Complexity Complexity Low audience involvement Low audience involvement Lack of perceived susceptibility Lack of perceived susceptibility “everything causes cancer” “everything causes cancer” Lack of future orientation Lack of future orientation Emotional and physical constraints Emotional and physical constraints Low health literacy and innumeracy Low health literacy and innumeracy
