A randomized trial was conducted to evaluate the combined impact of a physician reminder letter and a telephone contact on the use of Pap tests and mammograms in a low-income managed care program. Women 40 to 79 years of age who were past due for cancer screening were randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. Medical claims were reviewed after 6 months to determine intervention effectiveness. The odds of receiving all needed cancer screening tests during follow-up were four times higher in the intervention group. Women who reported having to take time off from work to see a doctor had lower odds of getting screened.
开展了一项随机试验,以评估在低收入管理式医疗项目中,医生提醒信和电话联系对巴氏试验和乳房X光检查使用情况的综合影响。年龄在40至79岁且癌症筛查逾期未做的女性被随机分配到干预组或对照组。6个月后对医疗理赔情况进行审查,以确定干预效果。干预组在随访期间接受所有必要癌症筛查测试的几率高出四倍。报告称必须请假去看医生的女性接受筛查的几率较低。
