Would shared decision-making be useful in breast cancer screening programmes? A qualitative study using focus group discussions to gather evidence from French women with different socioeconomic backgrounds.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers talked to 55 French women to understand their opinions about breast cancer screening and a new online tool for decision-making.* -
- Both groups of women (rich and not so rich) believed that knowing about how serious breast cancer is and the benefits of early detection were really important for getting screened.* -
- Women from wealthier backgrounds felt they could make informed choices and had support from friends, while those from less wealthy backgrounds mentioned group activities helped them, but they also faced challenges like language barriers.*
Background: The detection of cancer in its early latent stages can improve patients' chances of recovery and thereby reduce the overall burden of the disease. Our objectives were to investigate factors (geographic accessibility and deprivation level) affecting mammography screening participation variation and to determine how much geographic variation in participation rates can be explained by spillover effects between adjacent areas, while controlling for covariates.
Methods: Mammography screening participation rates between 2015 and 2016 were calculated by census blocks (CB), for women aged 50-74 years, residing in Lyon metropolitan area.
Mapping Variation in Breast Cancer Screening: Where to Intervene?

Small geographic areas with lower mammography screening participation rates may reflect gaps in screening efforts. Our objective was to use spatial analyses to understand disparities in mammography screening use and to identify factors to increase its uptake in areas that need it in Lyon metropolitan area, France. Data for screened women between the ages of 50 and 74 were analyzed.

Aims: This prospective study aimed to recruit refractory individuals by a motivational personalised phone call given by a screening physician.
Methods: We evaluated the impact of a motivational phone call given by a physician of the screening organisation in order to convince patients with positive FIT to undergo a colonoscopy.
