“…Such findings provide a different yet complimentary perspective on ongoing guidelines controversies in screening mammography. Prior studies using national patient perception surveys had reported no change in screening mammography rates for various age groups in association with the new USPSTF guidelines (Block et al, 2013;Howard & Adams, 2012;Pace et al, 2013). In contrast, our findings reveal a significant decrease in screening rates immediately after the guideline change, which returned the screening rate back to the level of March 2006.…”

“…Some investigators have examined the overall screening rate using national patient perception surveys, all of which have reported nonsignificant changes in screening mammography rates for various age groups (Block, Jarlenski, Wu, & Bennett, 2013;Howard & Adams, 2012;Pace, He, & Keating, 2013). Others using administrative claims data such as Medicare, private insurance claims, or registry data have reported mixed findings (Sharpe, Levin, Parker, & Rao, 2013;Sprague et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2014).…”

“…This rate varies between 25-49.1% in national studies (24,39,40). In international studies, this rate varies between 44.3 and 70% (33,41,42). Results of this study showed that the frequency of mammography in our country is lower than other countries.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study to determine the risks associated with breast cancer in women who live in a neighborhood in Istanbul, and to evaluate the effectiveness of breast self -examination (BSE) training. Materials and Methods:This study was designed by using a half-experimental model, with women over the age of 18 who visited the community health center in a district of Istanbul, during March / April 2012. Sample selection was not implemented, and 169 women who voluntarily participated in the study were included. Data was collected by face-to-face interview technique with "Demographic Survey Form", "Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Form" and "BSE Training Assessment Scale". After risk assessment, women who wanted to learn BSE (n=109) were given a practical training program lasting approximately 20 minutes that was prepared together with expert consults.Results: 32.1% of the participants regularly performed BSE. Out of those who do not use regular self-examination, 15.4% thought BSE was unnecessary, 44% was afraid to examine herself, and 40.7% did not know how to apply BSE. The mean breast cancer risk score was 135.64±61.33. There were statistically significant differences between breast cancer risk score and the educational status, marital status, and menstrual status. A statistically significant difference was found in pre-and post-training BSE Training Assessment Scale scores. Conclusion:The breast cancer risk score was low among women included in this study. However, the vast majority of women did not perform BSE, and those who did were using either irregular or improper practice. It was detected that implementation of planned and in-person training programs were quite effective.

“…For this reason, difference-indifference modeling has been extensively used in the economics literature, [17][18][19][20] and is beginning to be applied in health policy research. [21][22][23] In observational data, patients in a treatment and a control group are likely to have systematic differences that affect their likelihood of exposure (selection bias). Comparing pre-intervention and post-intervention data for a treatment group can mitigate selection bias, but one risks erroneously attributing changes to the intervention when in fact they are driven by larger environmental trends.…”
