Summary
Informed choice in mammography screening is crucial for women aged 50+. This study assesses informed decision-making, considering migration background and education, to improve breast cancer screening participation.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Services Research
- Oncology
Background:
- Breast cancer is a leading cancer in women globally.
- Germany offers population-based mammography screening starting at age 50.
- The balance of benefits and harms in mammography screening necessitates informed choice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the proportion of informed choices in the German mammography screening program.
- To investigate the influence of Turkish migration background and educational level on informed choices.
- To analyze determinants of informed choice, including knowledge, attitude, and behavioral implementation.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study with 3-month follow-up involving 17,000 women aged 50 in Westphalia-Lippe.
- Special outreach to identify and include Turkish women, providing materials in German and Turkish.
- Data collection on informed choice components and determinants, including demographics and invitation status.
