Co-production of a novel intervention targeting obesity-related barriers to mammographic screening participation
The intervention has been successfully implemented in a population-based breast screening program to improve the mammography experience for both clients and staff. Improving the mammogram experience will improve the likelihood of clients returning to screening when next due. Given the prevalence of obesity and body image issues, targeted interventions that optimize client interactions could significantly reduce breast cancer mortality through early detection.
