Breast Cancer Screening,
Weighted Mean (SD)
Cervical Cancer Screening,
Weighted Mean (SD)
Program outcome
  Women screened with NBCCEDP funds 4,509 (4,186) 4,858 (5,778)
  Women screened with all funds (ie, CDC + 1 non-CDC funds) 7,850 (21,520) 6,056 (8,220)
  Women receiving diagnostic follow-up visits for abnormal results 1,969 (2,998) 491 (619)
Program cost ($)a
  Cost of screening with an office visit 109.77 (43.80) 61.38 (24.82)
  Cost of a diagnostic procedure 400.68 (128.39) 415.16 (347.13)
  Cost of screening mammography without an office visitb 88.44 (31.23)
  Cost of Pap smear without an office visitc 20.62 (18.86)
a

Two programs were dropped from these calculations because of insufficient screening data.

b

No data on the number of mammograms that were performed using non-CDC funds were available, so this calculation includes only the 28 programs with complete data that did not perform any mammograms using non-CDC funds.

c

No data on the number of Pap tests that were performed using non-CDC funds was available, so this calculation includes only the 33 programs with complete data that did not perform any Pap tests using non-CDC funds.
