Barriers and facilitators to breast cancer screening among high-risk women: a qualitative study.

Purpose: Women with greater than 20-25% lifetime breast cancer risk are recommended to have breast cancer screening with annual mammogram and supplemental breast MRI. However, few women follow these screening recommendations. The objective of this study was to identify barriers and facilitators of screening among women at high risk for breast cancer, guided by the Health Services Utilization Model (HSUM).

Patterns and Predictors of Referral for Screening Breast MRI: A Mixed-Methods Study.

Women with ≥20% lifetime breast cancer risk can receive supplemental breast cancer screening with MRI. We examined factors associated with recommendation for screening breast MRI among primary care providers (PCPs), gynecologists (GYNs), and radiologists. We conducted a sequential mixed-methods study.
