Socioeconomic and Geographic Differences in Mammography Trends Following the 2009 USPSTF Policy Update
In this study, socioeconomic factors were associated with differences in how females responded to the 2009 USPSTF mammography recommendation. Whether the 2024 update considered such differences is unclear. These findings suggest that including risk assessment into future USPSTF policy updates may improve adoption of risk-reducing interventions and shorten the time to diagnosis and treatment for high-risk patients.
