Screening mammography rates have declined, but access to digital mammography and appointment wait times improved. However, upfront payment requirements increased, potentially impacting breast cancer screening access.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Screening
  • Public Health
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Screening mammography is vital for preventive healthcare in US women.
  • Declining and plateauing screening mammography rates raise access concerns.
  • Previous studies highlight the importance of timely access to breast cancer screening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess changes in mammography facility services and access between 2008 and 2011.
  • To evaluate the impact of evolving healthcare policies on screening mammography access.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators for women seeking breast cancer screening.

Main Methods:

  • A repeated survey of mammography facilities in six US states.
  • Data collection in 2008 and again in 2011.

  • Analysis of facility characteristics, service availability, and appointment wait times.

    • Main Results:

    • Increased availability of digital mammography between 2008 and 2011.
    • General improvement in appointment wait times for screening mammography.
    • A rise in the number of facilities requiring upfront payment for services.

    Conclusions:

    • While technological access improved, increased upfront payment requirements may hinder screening mammography access.
    • Federal healthcare reform provisions could potentially improve access and reverse declining breast cancer screening rates.
    • Continued monitoring of access barriers and facilitators is crucial for public health initiatives.
