BackgroundIn 2009, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended against routine mammography screening for women aged 40–49 years. This revised recommendation was widely criticized and has sparked off intense debate. The objectives of this study are to examine the impact of the revised recommendation on the proportion of women receiving mammograms and how the effect varied by age.
