Translations of risk
This paper reports on the routine decision making practices of health professionals working within a genetics service. Specifically the paper focuses on professionals' assessments of whether patients are at increased risk of inheriting a gene that predisposes the individual to developing cancer. By analysing professionals' talk and actions whilst assessing risk, the paper develops an understanding of both routine and complex decision making. Whil…
Making risk visible
Whilst analysis of 'risk' (in its many conceptual shapes) has loomed large in both medicine and social sciences over the past 25 years, detailed investigations as to how risk assessments are actually put together (in either lay or professional contexts) are few in number. The studies that are available usually focus on the use of words or everyday conversation in assembling risk. Talking about risk is, of course, important, but what tends to be i…
Anxiety and Adherence to Breast Self-Examination in Women With a Family History of Breast Cancer
OBJECTIVE: Previous research has indicated low rates of adherence to monthly breast self-examination (BSE) in women with a family history of breast cancer, and anxiety has been identified as a major factor that may interfere with regular self-examination. However, the direction of the relationship between anxiety and BSE frequency remains unclear, with some studies indicating that high anxiety promotes adherence and others indicating that it lead…
