Summary

This study tests five different reminder strategies to encourage women in Singapore who are overdue for mammograms to get screened. About 12,750 women aged 50-69 who have not had a mammogram in over two years will receive reminders by mail, with some getting a pre-scheduled appointment or extra follow-up. The goal is to see which approach works best to increase screening rates and improve early detection of breast cancer.
