Breast Density Awareness, Knowledge, and Attitudes Among US Women: National Survey Results Across 5 Years

ConclusionAlthough BD awareness has increased, important disparities persist. Knowledge of BD’s impact on risk has increased; knowledge about masking and BD discussions with providers has not.
