Is Religiosity Associated with Cancer Screening? Results from a National Survey
Multiple Clinical Practice Guidelines for Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening: Perceptions of US Primary Care Physicians
BACKGROUND: Multiple clinical practice guidelines exist for breast and cervical cancer screening, and differ in aggressiveness with respect to the recommended frequency and target populations for screening. OBJECTIVES: To determine (1) US primary care physicians' (PCPs) perceptions of the influence of different clinical practice guidelines; (2) the relationship between the number, aggressiveness, and agreement of influential guidelines and the ag…
Implementing Colorectal Cancer Screening in Community Health Centers: Addressing Cancer Health Disparities Through a Regional Cancer Collaborative
BACKGROUND: The population served by Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) has lower levels of cancer screening compared with the general population and suffers a disproportionate cancer burden. To address these disparities, 3 federal agencies and a primary care association established and tested the feasibility of a Regional Cancer Collaborative (RCC) in 2005. METHODS: RCC faculty implemented a learning model to improve cancer screening acr…
Differences Among the Elderly in the Treatment Costs of Colorectal Cancer: How Important Is Race
BACKGROUND: Medical expenditures adjusted for price differences are a barometer of total resources devoted to patient care and thus may reflect treatment differentials. OBJECTIVE: We sought to estimate costs of the surgical and adjuvant treatment phases of colorectal cancer (CRC) care and cost differences by race (African American-white) and other patient characteristics. METHODS: We used the linked Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SE…
Impact of Hormone Therapy on False-Positive Recall and Costs Among Women Undergoing Screening Mammography
OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the effects of hormone therapy (HT) on false-positive (FP) recall for additional breast evaluation and costs. DESIGN: We undertook an observational cohort study of women ages 40-80 years with 2 mammography screenings in an integrated delivery system. MEASURES: FP recall, defined as mammograms resulting in a radiologist's recommendation for additional imaging, ultrasound, or invasive procedures among disease-free w…
Quality assurance for screening mammography: An international comparison
STUDY OBJECTIVE: In 1998, the International Breast Cancer Screening Network (IBSN) sponsored an assessment of quality assurance policies and practices to define their scope for population-based screening mammography programmes across IBSN countries. DESIGN: Analysis of data from a survey designed to assess multiple elements of screening programme quality assurance, including organisation of quality assurance activities, mechanisms for site visits…
Using physician correspondence and postcard reminders to promote mammography use
OBJECTIVES. In a health maintenance organization that mails letters to women recommending that they schedule mammograms, we conducted a randomized trial to evaluate simple methods of increasing the use of screening mammography. METHODS. Using a 2 x 2 factorial design, we tested the effects of (1) mailing the recommendation letter from each woman's primary care physician rather than from the program director and (2) sending a subsequent reminder p…
A test of an expanded theory of reasoned action to predict mammography participation
Cost-Justification Analysis of Prenatal Maternal Serum Alpha-feto Protein Screening
The costs to an insurer of a 10-year maternal serum alpha-feto protein (MSAFP) screening program were subtracted from future medical care costs avoided by the insurer (benefits) to examine whether such a program would be cost-justified from the perspective of a managed health care system (i.e., result in net costs greater than or equal to 0). The analysis considered MSAFP screening for neural tube defects (NTDs) alone and then was repeated to con…
