N2 - Preventive therapies, such as tamoxifen, are a risk reduction option for women at increased risk of breast cancer. Little is known about the psychological factors influencing the decision to use chemoprevention. Using latent profile analysis, women who reported a low need for preventive therapy and strong medication concerns were less likely to initiate tamoxifen treatment. Medication beliefs are targets for supporting informed decision-making.
