Clinical Trial Summary

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignant tumor in women. In 2018, in Spain, the estimated incidence was 101/100,000 women.

Screening strategies and greater knowledge of risk factors by the population have contributed to a better prognosis. Specifically, in the case of behavioral factors, making women aware of their influence enables them to establish preventive measures themselves.

Technologies are becoming a channel of communication, from a healthcare perspective, between the population and healthcare personnel. There are even specific terms like eHealth or mHealth. There is beginning to be evidence that collects the benefits and ways of using web-apps to achieve modification of risky behaviors and/or behaviors to prevent pathologies are acquired.

The use of digital media, such as a web-app, to publicize BC risk factors makes it possible to specifically establish measures aimed at reducing its prevalence, which in turn will contribute to reducing the number of cases of BC. CM.

On the other hand, making women aware of their BC risk factors, as well as quantifying the risk of developing the tumor, is useful for them to become aware of the magnitude of the problem and adopt measures to minimize their risk.

Since there is no digital strategy in Asturias that informs and reduces the risk of developing breast cancer, through the modification of the main risk factors, in young women, the present study has been proposed with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness and feasibility of an educational intervention for BC risk prevention through the use of a Web-App in women residing in health area VII of the Principality of Asturias.
