Of the 19 studies reporting racial/ethnic composition, most studied non-Hispanic white women. AD = administrative data; ELM = elaboration likelihood model; HBM = health belief model; MR = medical record; NR = not reported; PAPM = precaution adoption process model; SCT = Social Cognitive Theory; SR = self-report; TRA/TPB = theory of reasoned action/planned behavior; TTM = transtheoretical model.

In studies where 100% of the women had an up-to-date mammogram at baseline, the sample was selected to include only women who were not overdue for their next mammogram but would become due during the study period. In some instances, estimates had to be averaged across groups and so these are approximate estimates.

Design 1 studies measured one pre- and one postintervention mammogram; design 2 studies measured two on-schedule postintervention mammograms.
