Women not adhering to regular mammography screening schedules need targeted interventions. These women show ambivalence and lower perceived risk, highlighting the need for provider-led discussions on repeat screening importance.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Preventive Medicine

Background:

  • Regular repeat screening mammography is crucial for reducing breast cancer mortality.
  • Most research focuses on initial screening, not adherence to recommended schedules.
  • This study compares beliefs and behaviors of women screened on-schedule, off-schedule, and never screened.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare beliefs and health-related behaviors among women with differing screening mammography adherence.
  • To identify characteristics of women who are nonadherent to recommended screening mammography schedules.

Main Methods:

  • Data from a baseline telephone interview of 1,287 female Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina members.
  • Participants were aged 40-44 or 50-54 years.

  • Comparison of three groups: on-schedule, off-schedule, and never screened.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences in beliefs and behaviors were observed across the three groups.
    • Off-schedule women exhibited intermediate levels of adherence to clinical breast exams and physician recommendations compared to on-schedule and never screened groups.
    • Off-schedule women reported lower perceived breast cancer risk and were less up-to-date with other cancer screenings.

    Conclusions:

    • Women not adhering to mammography schedules require interventions, particularly provider recommendations and discussions.
    • These women are more receptive to mammography information than never-screened individuals.
    • Brief interventions from healthcare providers can emphasize the importance of repeat screening for this group.
