Predictors of Mammography Use in the Past Year among Elderly Women
Thirty-two personal characteristics were examined as potential predictors of mammography use in the past year in a geriatric clinic. Interviews assessed demographic, health status, health service utilization, health belief, and psychological and social variables (n = 242, mean age = 76 years). Four variables were independently associated with mammography use in logistic regression analysis: age, historical mammography use, perceived severity, and…
Promoting Screening Mammography in Inner-City Settings
The effect of computerized mammography reminders can be sustained in a second year of continued intervention, but individual practice sites and organizations vary in their responsiveness to the intervention. Strategies to promote periodic and repetitive procedure use must identify and address time-varying barriers to their effectiveness
Promoting Screening Mammography in Inner-City Settings
In a one-year randomized controlled trial, we assessed the effectiveness of a computerized mammography reminder system as a component of a program to increase the use of screening mammography in three health care organizations serving inner-city women in Detroit, Michigan (two sites of a health department, one HMO site, and two sites of a private hospital). Four thousand four hundred and one women older than 40 who had visited a study site in the…
Patterns of Use of Mammography Among Inner-City Detroit Women
This study assessed the pattern of utilization of mammography among 2,880 inner-city minority women 40 years of age or older who received ongoing primary care services during 1988 or 1989 at four practice sites operated by a health department (two sites), Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), and private hospital. Mammography referral could be documented for 23% to 32% of age eligible women and completed mammograms for 15% to 26%. Among women wi…
