The mixed method approach will be based on a "complementarity" model, which emphasizes the use of two different methods to address different aspects of the research problem. Results from both methods will become integrated into the discussion of the findings and it is expected that this approach will enrich the study and allow for elaboration of the quantitative results. The secondary data analysis will be derived from approximately 10,000 women, initially enrolled in the Sister Study, who are between the ages of 35 and 74 and have had at least one sister affected by breast cancer. Women for the qualitative interviews will be recruited from a cohort of Sister Study participants residing within North Carolina and will include equal numbers of both White and African American women. It is expected that 28 women will be needed for qualitative data saturation (i.e. no new information comes forth) to occur.
