“…The reason most often suggested for the underuse of mammography is that doctors do not recommend it to their patients (Fox et al, 1988). Consequently, systematic efforts to address the low rates of mammography use have focused almost exclusively on interventions aimed at changing referral practices among health-care providers (Fox, Tsou, & Klos, 1985a, 1985b). Only recently has attention been paid to influencing the behavior of patients (Reynolds, West, & Aiken, 1990; Rimer et al, 1989).…”

One hundred ninety-seven women over 40 years old and not adhering to national guidelines for screening mammography viewed persuasive messages varying in attributional emphasis (internal, external, or information-only). Internal attributions of responsibility for health-promoting behavior were expected to motivate the greatest change in women's attitudes and behaviors in relation to breast cancer and mammography. Attitudes about breast cancer and mammography were measured immediately and 6 months after the presentation. Twelve months later, women who viewed the internal message were more likely to have obtained a screening mammogram than women assigned to the other 2 conditions. The attributions of responsibility encouraged by the persuasive messages were associated with whether viewing the presentation led to behavior change.

Compliance with screening mammography recommendations is low. Consequently, a community-wide program offering $50 mammograms at 29 radiology facilities was implemented. The program was promoted on a local TV news show and women 35 years and older were instructed to call a referral phone bank. If the caller met eligibility criteria, she received an information packet that assigned her to one of the facilities; it was her responsibility to schedule the appointment. At one facility, a strategy to increase compliance was piloted using a controlled design. Of the 96 subjects assigned to that clinic, 47 received an incentive coupon combined with a prompt in addition to the information packet and 49 received no coupon. The coupon was redeemable for a nutrition information kit when the subject appeared at her appointment. Results indicated that the incentive group had a significantly higher rate of appointment making than the control group (81 vs. 59%). Of subjects in both groups who made appointments, nearly 100% kept them. The intervention appeared to be cost-effective with a self-referred sample.
