Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Inclusion criteria:
- Women members of The North Carolina Teachers' and State Employees' Comprehensive Major Medical Plan (SHP)
- Age 40-75
- Enrolled with the SHP for at least 24 months, not covered by COBRA or Medicare primary
- Based on claims data, women will have had their last mammogram 6-8 months ago so reminders will arrive 2 months prior to due date for next mammogram.
- Exclusion criteria:
- Unable to speak and understand English. We lack the resources to adapt the intervention appropriate for non-English speakers. Moreover, we do not know if the interventions lend themselves to cultural translation. We regard this as a next logical research activity.
- Have breast cancer or have some other illness that precludes participation. Women diagnosed with breast cancer before the study are ineligible; their screening schedules are consistent with recommendations for the general population. However, if women develop breast cancer during the study, we would ask them a reduced set of questions.
- We selected age 75 as the upper limit, because there are too few women over age 75 to permit meaningful statistical analysis (\<100 women in all). The SHP is largely a working population. We wish that it were possible both to include and analyze women older than age 75. This is a limitation of the population we have selected.
