Summary

Family physician prescriptions increase screening mammography compliance, but fear and lack of time remain barriers for some women. Previous mammograms and physician trust are key compliance factors.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Screening mammography is crucial for early breast cancer detection.
  • Understanding factors influencing adherence to physician-prescribed mammograms is vital for improving screening rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors associated with patient compliance with screening mammography prescriptions issued by family physicians.
  • To explore barriers and facilitators to undergoing recommended mammography screening.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary analysis of a nonrandomized trial involving women aged 50-69 prescribed screening mammography.
  • Data collected via telephone questionnaire assessing compliance and potential influencing factors.
  • Logistic regression analysis used to determine predictors of compliance.

Main Results:

  • Compliance rate was 66.1% within two months.
  • Previous mammogram history was the strongest predictor of compliance.
  • Fear of mammography, lack of time, and distrust in physician recommendations were associated with noncompliance.
  • Smoking was negatively associated with compliance.

Conclusions:

  • Family physician prescriptions can improve mammography screening rates.
  • Physician-centered approaches may not reach women with negative views towards recommendations.
  • Further research is needed to address barriers for reluctant women and improve screening adherence.
