Development and validation of an instrument assessing women's satisfaction with screening mammography in an organized breast cancer screening program.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The assessment of the quality of mammography services delivered in organized breast cancer screening programs should include measures centered on women's perceptions. The objective of this study was to develop and validate an instrument in French designed to evaluate the satisfaction of women having a screening mammography.

Methods

Between November 9 and 21, 2011, the questionnaire was sent to 1500 consecutive women having had a screening mammography in eight radiologic facilities designated by the Québec Breast Cancer Screening Program, in Quebec City, Canada.
