Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The objective of this study is to assess whether use of a mammography breast plate cushion will significantly decrease the level of discomfort experienced by African American women during routine screening mammograms. The primary hypothesis is that use of the breast plate cushion will result in less mammography-related discomfort. The secondary hypotheses are that women who anticipate high levels of discomfort will experience greater reductions in discomfort when a breast plate cushion is used and participants who received mammograms using a breast plate cushion will have greater intentions to return for a routine mammogram than the control group.
