Brief summary (as posted)
This pilot clinical trial studies how well technology and health communication works in improving health outcomes in patients scheduled for mammography screening. The Mobile Mammography Screening Program provides a vital health service and it is important that all women scheduled for an appointment show-up to be screened. Technology and health communication may help decrease no-show rates among patients scheduled for mammography screening.
