| Abstract |
To determine and explore the relationship between risk perception and health-protective behaviour in individuals with family history of breast cancer. Women with increased risk of breast cancer due to inherited predisposition can use health-protective behaviours to facilitate prevention or early detection of cancer. Four scientific literature databases (CINAHL, Medline, AMED, PsychInfo) and three systematic review databases were searched. Mixed method systematic review. The systematic review of peer-reviewed literature was conducted following the method described by the Centre of Reviews and Dissemination. Research studies published in English between January 2004-December 2014 focussing on individuals with family history of breast cancer were included. Of 210 papers identified, ten studies were eligible for inclusion. Studies were assessed for their quality. Due to the diversity of the studies, a three step analysis was undertaken involving narrative summary of the quantitative data, thematic analysis and presentation of integrated results in narrative form. A clear link between breast cancer risk perception and some health-protective behaviour was identified. Screening administered by health professionals (mammogram screening, chemoprevention) were appropriately adopted. However, behaviours requiring high individual input (breast self-examination, lifestyle changes) were not as appropriately adopted and the decision process was not as clearly linked to risk perception. There is limited understanding about the complex relationship between risk perception and health-protective behaviour. Risk communication and health promotion need to be further developed to assist individuals to better engage with their actual risk and risk-appropriate behaviours, particularly those that require regular personal effort.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 November 2016.
All research outputs
#13,765,649
of 24,542,484 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Advanced Nursing
#3,762
of 5,487 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#161,670
of 325,407 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Advanced Nursing
#79
of 85 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,542,484 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,487 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.7. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 325,407 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 85 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
