Disparities in Mammography Screening in Rural Areas
The extent to which targeted mammography programs have impacted women in rural areas is not well defined. We investigated mammography screening rates among 843 women age 50 and over from a population‐based sample in four predominantly rural eastern North Carolina counties.
