Description

This study investigates the effectiveness of emotional information and basic information with monetary support in breast cancer screening attendance among female employees who had never had it. A total of 120 stores of a retail company in Japan were randomly classified into four groups; control, emotional information (comic book), basic information with a subsidy application form (leaflet), and combination. Among employees aged 30–49 years, the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for screening attendance compared with the control group were 2.50 (0.73–8.56) for the comic book group, 1.99 (0.54–7.28) for the leaflet group, and 3.41 (1.08–10.81) for the combination group. No significant effect was found for employees aged 50 years and over. A combination of basic and emotional information with a subsidy application form was found to be effective for encouraging breast cancer screening attendance among never-screened female employees in their 30s and 40s.
