“…Research suggests that the validity of self-reported health behaviors are compromised if a certain health behavior is perceived as an expected behavior. 21,22 We attribute the low rate of survey return in this study to the sensitive content of the questionnaire and to the method of contact, US postal services. Many women opted not to participate in this study because of the personal nature of the questionnaire, as it was indicated on their returned but un-answered surveys.…”

“…53 Although self-reports generally overestimate actual mammography use, they are reasonably accurate and are feasible for populationbased studies. [54][55][56][57][58][59] Also, any such bias would have been limited in the present study, because the 2 cohorts were interviewed in the same manner and both interviewers and participants were generally unaware of the evaluation design. Moderate exposure rates and the resulting small numbers hindered our ability to assess intervention efficacy, especially by income level.…”

Objectives. A community trial was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of the North Carolina Breast Cancer Screening Program, a lay health advisor network intervention intended to increase screening among rural African American women 50 years and older.Methods. A stratified random sample of 801 African American women completed baseline (1993-1994) and follow-up (1996-1997) surveys.The primary outcome was self-reported mammography use in the previous 2 years.Results. The intervention was associated with an overall 6 percentage point increase (95% confidence interval [CI] = −1, 14) in communitywide mammography use. Low-income women in intervention counties showed an 11 percentage point increase (95% CI = 2, 21) in use above that exhibited by lowincome women in comparison counties. Adjustment for potentially confounding characteristics did not change the results.Conclusions. A lay health advisor intervention appears to be an effective public health approach to increasing use of screening mammography among low-income, rural populations.

“…Studies found that over 90% of women accurately reported their mammography screening in the past 12 months as validated by medical records (Barrat et al, 2000;King et al, 1990). However, this consistency is less evident in older age groups, low income households, different ethnicities, or participants with co-morbid conditions (Bancej et al, 2004;Champion et al, 1998;Lawrence et al, 1999). Conversely, medical records may not be up-to-date, making this measure less accurate (Jibaja-Weiss et al, 2003).…”

Objective-To evaluate the effectiveness of tailored interventions, designed to reach one specific person based on her unique characteristics, for promoting mammography use.Method-This systematic review used meta-analytic techniques to aggregate the effect size of 28 studies published from 1997 through 2005. Potential study-level moderators of outcomes (sample, intervention, and methodological characteristics) were also examined.Results-A small but significant aggregate odds ratio effect size of 1.42 indicated that women exposed to tailored interventions were significantly more likely to get a mammogram (p < 0.001).The type of population recruited and participants' pre-intervention level of mammography adherence did not significantly influence this effect. Tailored interventions that used the Health Belief Model and included a physician recommendation produced the strongest effects. Interventions delivered in person, by telephone, or in print were similarly effective. Finally, defining adherence as a single recent mammogram as opposed to regular or repeated mammograms yielded higher effect sizes. Tailored interventions, particularly those that employ the Health Belief Model and use a physician recommendation, are effective in promoting mammography screening. Future investigations should strive to use more standardized definitions of tailoring and assessments of mammography outcomes. Conclusion-
