Know Your Risk Act

Sponsored By: Representative Letlow, Julia [R-LA-5]

Introduced

Summary

Centralized, evidence-based breast cancer risk assessment. This bill would push federal health programs to standardize risk tools, expand provider training and public education, and track who gets assessed to close equity gaps.

Show full summary
  • Families and patients: More people would be offered routine, evidence-based breast cancer risk assessments and referrals for enhanced screening, genetic counseling, or preventive services. This aims to raise awareness of individual risk and improve follow up.
  • Providers and health systems: Grant recipients would be required to train clinicians on validated risk models and integrate standardized tools into electronic health record (EHR) systems for consistent use in clinical settings.
  • States, grant programs, and researchers: States would report counts and percentages of people assessed, numbers identified as elevated risk, referrals made, and disparities by region or underserved populations. The Secretary would also be required to produce a government-wide report within 180 days on tool inaccuracies, gaps, and plans for a single comprehensive assessment framework.

*The bill does not authorize new appropriations and would not directly create new federal funding.*
