This is a randomised-controlled trial. Women recruted will first answer a questionnaire assessing demographic data, knowledge about risks in the future, perception of cardiovascular risk, anxiety about that risk and satisfaction about information received or collected.

Then, women in the intervention group will receive the pamphlet. One month after, women in both groups will receive a questionnaire similar to the first one assessing knowledge about risks in the future, perception of cardiovascular risk, anxiety about that risk and satisfaction about information received or collected, including the pamphlet for the intervention group.

The pamphlet was validated by a multidisciplany team including patients, doctors, nurses, education specialists and communication specialists.

The questionnaire was also validated by the same multidisciplinary team. Section on knowledge and anxiety were remodeled from previously validated questionnaires Section on perception of cardiovascular risk was reproduced and translated with permission from its author.
