The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends interventions that reduce structural barriers to increase screening mammograms for breast cancer. These interventions may help increase access to cancer screening services by:
- Reducing the time or distance between the people who need services and the places where services are offered
- Making sure people can get services at times that work for them
- Offering services in non-clinical settings, like mobile mammography vans at worksites or in residential communities
- Reducing or simplifying administrative procedures
