This holiday season our team is celebrating the record-breaking enrollment of new study participants that joined us this Fall. Women from across the US, as young as 30, learned about the study from several sources that had a big trickle-down effect. It began with our scientists presenting at professional conferences, including Optum Grand Rounds (education for Optum physicians), and the annual Menopause Society meeting.

Attendees of those events enrolled in the study and shared WISDOM with their colleagues and patients near and far through presentations at conferences, social media posts, email campaigns, tv interviews, and more. Simultaneous to these events, our partners at the Veterans Affairs sent tens of thousands of emails to VA patients across the country who receive care from the VA, alerting them about WISDOM- thousands of whom have joined us.

We are thrilled to report that in the past year, over 21,000 women have signed up for WISDOM- nearly doubling the number of sign ups from the previous year. Over 5,000 of these women are between the ages of 30-39 and would likely not have learned about their risk for breast cancer through other means. To date, since the launch of WISDOM in 2016, over 91, 000 women have registered, helping us make significant strides in advancing breast cancer research.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has joined us on this journey—your participation is truly making a difference. The momentum continues to build, and the study is taking off as we head into an exciting new phase for WISDOM2.0 in 2025.
