BACKGROUND/METHODS: We report survey results of the types of tools used to communicate with women about breast cancer screening and the content areas included in each tool for member countries of the International Breast Cancer Screening Network (IBSN).
In addition to using pamphlets and invitation letters, new technologies are being used such as the Internet which allows for easy updating of information and can provide interactive modules. Several countries have addressed the needs of specific populations such as indigenous populations or blind women. All countries provide basic information, although they do not provide all the same information.
More research is needed to understand what women need to make an informed decision about mammography and to learn what the best modalities are to provide this information.
背景/方法：我们报告了国际乳腺癌筛查网络（IBSN）成员国用于与女性就乳腺癌筛查进行沟通的工具类型以及每种工具所包含内容领域的调查结果。
除了使用宣传册和邀请函外，还在使用新技术，如互联网，它便于信息更新且能提供交互式模块。几个国家已满足了特定人群的需求，如原住民或失明女性。所有国家都提供基本信息，尽管提供的信息不尽相同。
需要开展更多研究，以了解女性在对乳房X光检查做出明智决策时需要什么，以及了解提供这些信息的最佳方式是什么。
