✅   Evaluation of a telehealth service to support breast cancer prevention medication uptake: a protocol of a mixed methods study

Health

Introduction Breast cancer risk can be substantially reduced with risk-reducing medications (RRMeds). Despite their efficacy, and guidelines which support their use for women at substantially increased risk of breast cancer, they are underused. Barriers to their use in Australia include a lack of awareness of RRMeds by women and clinicians, and a primary care workforce that reports a lack of knowledge and confidence in discussing and/or prescribing these medications. In contrast, Australian clinicians have reported specialist support and guidance as a key facilitator. The Preventing Cancer with Medications (PCMed) Telehealth Service was therefore developed to provide this specialist support and to bridge the evidence–implementation gap.
