Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Women randomly assigned to UCR, EAPR, ELR; repeated 4 times at yearly intervals. Using claims data, supplemented by self-report, verified if women had recent mammograms. Women who remained non-adherent after reminders received Barriers-Specific Telephone Counseling Call, or an enhanced call including focus on either positive or negative consequences of getting/not getting mammograms. Prior to calls, women in each of the three phone counseling groups received priming letters to prime them to process information in the call. Priming letters should prepare women to process information from subsequent counseling calls more deeply by focusing on the positive or negative consequences of getting/not getting mammograms or on identifying and overcoming their own barriers to being screened.
