目标。本研究比较了 1994 年美国和加拿大不同社会经济地位的年度乳房 X 光检查率。方法。使用基于人口的横断面调查来比较比率。结果。美国 50 至 69 岁女性的筛查率高于加拿大（47.3% vs 38.8%；P < .01）。在这两个国家，受过高等教育和收入较高的女性更有可能接受筛查，国家之间没有显着差异。结论。对于 50 至 69 岁的女性，加拿大的筛查率相对于美国大幅提高。然而，两国在不同社会经济地位水平的筛查方面仍然存在差异。
Objectives. This study compared rates of annual mammography screening across socioeconomic status between the United States and Canada in 1994.Methods. Population-based cross-sectional surveys were used to compare the rates.Results. Screening rates were higher in the United States than in Canada for women aged 50 to 69 years (47.3% vs 38.8%; P < .01). Women with higher education and with higher incomes were more likely to receive:screening in both countries, with no significant differences between countries.Conclusions. For women aged 50 to 69 years, screening rates in Canada have substantially increased relative to those in the United States. However, disparities in screening across levels of socioeconomic status persist in both countries.
