  • Focus on specific demographics including non-Hispanic White, Asian, and uninsured women aged 40 to 49
  • Overall mammography use remained stable in the population
  • Significant declines observed among non-Hispanic White, Asian, and uninsured women aged 40 to 49 from 2010 to 2022

Abstract

In this cross-sectional study, mammography use did not significantly decline in the overall population; however, significant reductions were observed among non-Hispanic White, Asian, and uninsured women aged 40 to 49 years from 2010 to 2022. These findings highlight the need for clear, risk-based screening communication and targeted strategies to promote guideline-concordant decision-making, particularly among younger women.
