About this study

Official title: Effects of Risk Assessment and Counselling on Adherence to Risk Reduction Recommendations Among Female Relatives of Breast Cancer Patients in Southwestern Nigeria

The study will be a randomized controlled trial. The aim of the study is to determine the Breast Cancer (BC) risk and to evaluate the effect of BC risk counseling on lifestyle changes and adherence to risk-reduction practices among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West Nigeria. This study's research questions are:

  • What are the Nigeria Breast Cancer Study (NBCS) and Gail models estimates of the BC risk of first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West, Nigeria?
  • What are the effects of BC risk assessment and counseling on adherence to breast screening recommendations among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West, Nigeria?
  • What are the effects of BC risk assessment and counseling on adherence to lifestyle risk reduction recommendations among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West, Nigeria?
  • What is the knowledge, attitudes, and perception of first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West Nigeria towards genetic testing and BC etiology?
  • What factors predict breast screening among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West Nigeria?
  • What factors predict the time to first BC screening (post-intervention) among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West Nigeria?

Participants will be randomized into the control arm (standard care) and intervention arms of the study. The intervention arm of the study will have a BC risk assessment followed by individualized BC risk counseling. In addition, the intervention arm will receive BC awareness and MammaCare® BSE training. The control arm will receive only standard care comprising BC awareness and MammaCare® BSE training. Both study arms will receive BC screening recommendations and lifestyle modification recommendations.

We hope that the BC risk counseling will improve BC screening practices and modification of risk behaviors and this hypothesis will be tested.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Effects of BC risk assessment and counselling on adherence to breast screening recommendations among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West Nigeria

    Questionnaire will be administered to the participants to determine the effects of the intervention on adherence to breast screening practices

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Effects of BC risk assessment and counselling on adherence to lifestyle risk reduction recommendations among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West, Nigeria

    Questionnaire will be administered to the participants to determine the effects of the intervention on adherence to lifestyle risk reduction practices

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Predictors of BSE among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West Nigeria

    Statistical analysis will be carried out to determined the independent variables predicting BSE

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Predictors of time to first BC screening post-intervention among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West Nigeria

    Statistical analysis will be carried out to determined the independent variables predicting first time to BC screening

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Determine the perception of familial BC risk among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West Nigeria.

    Semi-structured questionnaires will be used to determine the perception of familial BC risk among participants

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Determine the knowledge of familiar BC risk among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West Nigeria.

    Semi-structured questionnaires will be used to determine the knowledge of familiar BC risk among participants

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Determine the knowledge, attitude, and perception towards genetic testing and BC aetiology among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West Nigeria

    Semi-structured questionnaires will be used to determine the knowledge, attitude, and perception towards genetic testing and BC aetiology among participants

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Individualized breast cancer risk assessment and Individualized breast cancer risk counselling in people with Risk Reduction Behavior and Breast Cancer, run by University of Ibadan at 4 sites in Nigeria.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effects of BC risk assessment and counselling on adherence to breast screening recommendations among first-degree female relatives of BC patients in South-West Nigeria (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Aug 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
