Abstract

This article discusses findings of a study conducted by researchers from Brown University, the Providence Veterans Medical Center and Harvard School of Public Health, which revealed that the requirement of a copayment may decrease the rates of screening mammography among women. The research compared rates of biennial breast cancer screening in care plans from 2001 to 2004. The results of the study suggested that cost-sharing policies affect the use of mammography in a population in which it has proven benefits.
