Wilcoxon's two-sided Z-approximation.

Negative binomial model with covariates for age, education (high school or less versus at least some college), race (white versus other), Charlson comorbidy score, and site. The incidence ratio gives the ratio of the number of visits in 1 year after the screening mammogram by women in the immediate reading group relative to the number of visits by women in the batch reading group.

No multivariable analyses of mental health visits were conducted due to the limited number of women with any mental health visits.
