TL;DR
M mammography interventions for older urban women should combine provider recommendations with barrier-reducing interventions, as knowledge is associated with mammography contemplation, but barriers may affect whether contemplation leads to action.
Abstract
Mammography interventions for older urban women should combine provider recommendations with barrier-reducing interventions. Knowledge is associated with mammography contemplation, but barriers may affect whether contemplation leads to action. Precontemplators may need explanation of the rationale for screening; contemplators may need intervention to assuage fears.
