Effect modification by educational attainment on the associations of dense breast notification (DBN) (left panel) and breast density (BD) awareness (right panel) with perceived absolute risk. At short-term follow-up. “BD awareness”: women reported having heard of breast density, or having been told they had dense breasts. “No BD awareness”: women reported that they had not heard of breast density and had not been told they had dense breasts. “With DBN”: women with BI-RADS 3 or 4 on the baseline mammogram. “No DBN”: women with BI-RADS 1 or 2 on the baseline mammogram. Solid marker: Model A: adjusted for outcome-specific covariates (5-year absolute risk Gail score, nativity status, health literacy, educational attainment, and history of breast biopsy) and baseline perceived absolute risk, pinteraction, density = 0.01; pinteraction, awareness = 0.5. Hatched marker: Model A, plus mutual adjustment for other exposure, pinteraction, density = 0.01; pinteraction, awareness = 0.5
