Summary
This Yale University study aimed to see if learning about 'overdiagnosis'—when screening finds a cancer that wouldn't have caused harm—changes whether older women plan to get mammograms. Researchers surveyed 311 women aged 70 and older, asking them questions before and after watching different educational videos. The goal was to understand how this specific information influences personal screening decisions.
