Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Mammography screening is crucial for early breast cancer detection.
  • Barriers to screening can limit uptake, even with accessible services.
  • Workplace mobile mammography offers convenient access for many women.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify perceived barriers to mammography among women with workplace screening access.
  • To compare characteristics of women who completed mammography versus those who did not.
  • To inform strategies for improving mammographic screening adherence.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to women who made appointments for mammography at a mobile breast center.
  • Participants included women who completed the screening and those who made appointments but did not attend.

  • The survey assessed potential barriers to undergoing mammography.

    • Main Results:

    • Women who completed mammography were more likely to have had prior screenings (P < .001).
    • Physician recommendation significantly influenced compliance (P < .005).
    • Media influence also correlated positively with screening adherence (P < .005).

    Conclusions:

    • Accessible, reduced-cost screening alone may not overcome all barriers.
    • Physician advice and media exposure are important factors in promoting mammography.
    • Targeted interventions addressing these influences can enhance screening rates in self-referred populations.
