Abstract

Breast screening is an important method of detecting cancer early, with around a third of breast cancers now diagnosed through screening. Previous research has demonstrated that there are many contributors to health inequalities, with poor access to good health services chief among them: there are significant disparities in the use of health services linked to income, ethnicity and education. Empirical data was analysed from a breast screening service (n=159,405) using advanced data mining techniques, as well as being collected from service users by way of two focus groups conducted before and after the use of a detailed questionnaire (n=102). The results were used to make recommendations of interventions to reduce the rate of non-attendance.
