Provincial Variation in Adherence to Breast Cancer Screening in Canada: Evidence From the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow's Health
Factors associated with screening adherence that were identified in this study namely household income, self-perceived health, and routine medical check-ups should be considered as potential factors for targeting undeserved communities and increasing engagement in screening at both provincial and national levels. The observed variation in mammography among women aged 40 to 49 years with family history of breast cancer, may inform the current guidelines for potential benefits of early screening initiation.
