Women's Experiences With Mammography Screening Through 6 Years of Participation—A Longitudinal Qualitative Study
In this article we explore women's experiences with 6 years of mammography screening. Regular and repeated mammography screening is promoted as an important tool for disease prevention among women worldwide. The purpose of the present study was to explore how continued participation in screening influences how women perceive screening and breast cancer. We carried out focus groups with 24 screening participants in 2003 and 2009. Our analysis high…
Risk categorisation through standard deviations – the challenge of bone density measurements: A focus group study among women attending the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (Hunt)
Bone density measurements play an important part in the categorisation of osteoporosis as a risk factor in modern medicine. According to the World Health Organization, people are categorised as having osteoporosis when their bone mineral density (BMD) value is 2.5 standard deviation (SD) below the young adult mean value, and as having osteopenia when the value lies between one and 2.5 SDs below the young adult mean value. The categorisation accor…
Brittle bones, pain and fractures - Lay constructions of osteoporosis among Norwegian women attending the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (Hunt)
Focus Groups in a Medicine-Dominated Field: Compromises or Quality Improvements
Mammography screening has traditionally been viewed as a field for medical research. The medical science discourse, however, is highly quantitative, and its claims for validity somewhat opposed to those of qualitative research. To communicate research in a cross-disciplinary field, it is necessary to adapt one's research to several paradigms. The authors conducted focus group interviews with women due to be screened in a national breast cancer sc…
