Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Claus model was designed to assess risk for individuals with a family history of breast cancer, but in a free clinic setting, many clients may not have access to information about their family history. Therefore, using the Claus model may substantially underestimate risk and would not be a good choice. Other models, such as the Gail model, may be more appropriate for this population.
