Surveys & Interviews

Evaluating the requirements to implement supplementary screening in women with dense breasts across Europe

by Ms Deborah Mizzi from the University of Salford, Manchester, UK

The aim of this study is to evaluate the requirements needed to implement supplementary screening in women with dense breasts across Europe. Your participation in this study would help us survey current guidance and practices in breast cancer screening in women with dense breasts across European countries and evaluate the awareness of breast cancer screening staff in European screening units towards the presence of procedures or protocols, concerning supplementary screening in women with dense breasts. The questionnaires will also explore any potential barriers or challenges that are faced by staff to change practice to implement supplementary screening in women with dense breasts and investigate willingness to change practice to implement supplementary screening in women with dense breasts. We would appreciate it if you could take the time to give us your opinions on supplementary screening in women with dense breasts in your screening unit by completing the online questionnaire. Your responses are really valuable in addressing a lack of research in this important area.

Deadline for completing the questionnaire: Friday, December 1, 2023
