TL;DR
Stage-matched, tailored materials may be a means to encourage screening mammography in women aged 40-74 and differ from the Stage-Matched group in multivariate analysis.
Abstract
Stage-matched, tailored materials may be a means to encourage screening mammography. Such interventions can be implemented by telephone and mail.

Statistical modeling indicates that the recent drop in breast cancer mortality is too rapid to be explained only by the increased use of mammography; likewise, there has been no equivalent dramatic increase in survival rates that would implicate therapy alone.

Analysis of variance supported the associations between readiness to obtain screening and opinions about mammography previously found in research using smaller samples from another geographic region, and it is recommended that future research examine whether opinions regarding the cons of mammography are more individually specific than the pros.
