A workplace intervention successfully increased mammography screening rates for women aged 40-49 and 50+ at a university campus. The program utilized print media, workshops, and incentives, showing positive employee reception.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Health Promotion

Background:

  • Mammography is crucial for early breast cancer detection.
  • Workplace health programs can influence screening behaviors.
  • Targeting different age groups is essential for effective screening promotion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a workplace intervention to promote mammography screening.
  • To assess the impact of the intervention on different age groups (40-49 and ≥50).
  • To gauge employee perception and participation in the health promotion program.

Main Methods:

  • A one-year intervention program was implemented at one university campus, with a second campus serving as a control.
  • Randomly selected cohorts were surveyed before and after the intervention.

  • The intervention included print media, on-site workshops, and incentive drawings.

    • Main Results:

    • Mammography rates significantly increased in both the intervention and control groups for both age categories.
    • The 40-49 age group saw increases of 17.6% (intervention) and 13.6% (control).
    • The ≥50 age group saw increases of 11.9% (intervention) and 6.3% (control); however, differences between sites were not statistically significant.

    Conclusions:

    • The workplace intervention demonstrated a positive impact on mammography screening rates.
    • While the intervention showed promise, the lack of significant differential change between sites suggests broader influences or limitations.
    • Future research should explore refined strategies for workplace-based cancer screening promotion.
