$50 gift card to learn about breast cancer risk. We need volunteers to learn about breast cancer risk. Researchers at Miami University and Cornell University will give women a $50 gift card to be part of an on-line study from home. We are developing an advanced web-based tutor to help ordinary women understand genetic breast cancer risk. In this 3-hour study you will be randomly assigned to one of three interactive tutorials. Then you will fill out some surveys. Our goal is to help women like you make better health decisions. You must be a woman over 18 and everything is confidential.

Requirements. To participate in this study each of the following must apply to you. You must:

Be a woman.
Be 18 or older.
Not have breast cancer yourself.
Have a computer with an internet connection.
Have 3 hours for the study (there is not a good way to stop and come back later).

At the end of the study you will select a gif card worth $50 at one of these 6 stores: Best Buy, Staples, Gap, CVS, Starbucks, or Regal Entertainment Group.
