“…This number is among the highest for mobile trucks compared to the previously published reports. There are many reasons for females to prefer mobile services, such as screening localizations, convenience, feeling comfortable by avoiding social and geographic barriers ( Yu-Mei and Hsueh-Hua, 2013 ; Brooks et al, 2013 ; Drake et al, 2015 ; Guillaume et al, 2017 ). And a great majority of the females screened also showed a tendency to continue on mobile trucks for future screening rounds.…”

Screening via mammography is a complex process to be implemented. Objective: To report the initial results and the effectiveness of newly implemented Turkey's population based breast cancer screening program performed for 40–69 years old women; and effectiveness of the newly implemented out-sourcing mobile trucks and national central report center. The study is conducted prospectively in one year (March 2016–March 2017) in all 81 provinces of Turkey. Mammography images were transferred via on-line web based system to the central reporting center. BI-RADS Scores and KETEM models (Mobile vs. Stationary) were the parameters were compared. In total mammography images of 414.802 patients were transferred from 155 KETEMs to the central reporting center. From these patients; 95.872 (23,1%) were aged between 40 and 44. Among all images, 21.999 (5,3%) were BI-RADS 0-4-5, 391.123 (94,3%) were BI-RADS 1–2. Totally recall rate of the national reporting center was 5.3%. Number of patients screened per day were significantly higher in out-sourcing mobile trucks compared to stationary KETEMs (31.8 vs. 8.9; p < 0.05). This is the first and the largest breast cancer screening study which results of a population based mammography screening for 40–69 years old women are evaluated at the same time with the evaluation of the efficacy of newly implemented centralized reporting center and the mobile screening trucks in comparison with stationary cancer screening centers. According to the initial results; Turkey's newly implemented population based breast cancer screening system seems to be feasible and effective.

“…1 (with further details in Appendix C). In total, 13 unique primary studies (representing 14 articles) from seven countries were included in the review: England (n = 4, from 5 articles) [ [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] ], France (n = 3) [ 19 , 28 , 29 ], Germany (n = 1) [ 30 ], Italy (n = 1) [ 31 ], Sweden (n = 1) [ 18 ], the Netherlands (n = 1) [ 17 ] and Turkey (n = 2) [ 32 , 33 ]. All countries ran screening programmes, although it is acknowledged that, in Turkey, breast cancer screening is still performed primarily on an opportunistic basis [ 32 , 33 ].…”

“…The procedure can be used to construct an ecological deprivation index using the smallest available geographical levels in a replicable way for all European Union members. So far, the EDI has been developed for France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and England ( 20 , 21 ), and has since then been used in several studies on social inequalities in cancer burden ( 22 , 23 , 24 ), screening uptake ( 25 ) and health care access ( 26 ), orthopaedic care ( 27 ) and even environmental exposure ( 28 ).…”

IntroductionEcological deprivation indices belong to essential instruments for monitoring and understanding health inequalities. Our aim was to develop the SI-EDI, a newly derived European Deprivation Index for Slovenia. We intend to provide researchers and policy-makers in our country with a relevant tool for measuring and reducing the socioeconomic inequalities in health, and even at a broader level.MethodsData from the European survey on Income and Living Conditions and Slovenian national census for the year 2011 were used in the SI-EDI construction. The concept of relative deprivation was used where deprivation refers to unmet need(s), which is caused by lack of all kinds of resources, not only material. The SI-EDI was constructed for 210 Slovenian municipalities. Its geographical distribution was compared to the distribution of two existing deprivation scores previously applied in health inequality research in Slovenia.ResultsThere were 36% of adults recognized as deprived in Slovenia in 2011. SI-EDI was calculated using 10 census variables that were associated with individual deprivation. A clear east-to-west gradient was detected with the most deprived municipalities in the eastern part of the country. The two existing deprivation scores correlate significantly with the SI-EDI.ConclusionsA new deprivation index, the SI-EDI, is grounded on the internationally established scientific concept, can be replicated over time and, crucially, provides an account of the socioeconomic and cultural particularities of the Slovenian population. The SI-EDI could be used by the stakeholders and the governmental and nongovernmental sectors in Slovenia, with the goal of better understanding health inequalities in Slovenia.
