We therefore propose that a brief telephone intervention to elicit and address concerns about breast screening, with the aim of ensuring that a woman's belief in the benefits of breast screening come to outweigh any barriers or concerns, could be effective at increasing screening attendance amongst low socio-economic women.
A systematic review of methods to improve cervical cancer screening has found standard recall letters to be effective at increasing compliance with cervical cancer screening via Pap smear [ 33].
A systematic review in 2006 by Ginige et al identified four published trials of interventions to increase chlamydia screening in primary care and found that educational packages targeting primary care physicians, and the elimination of barriers to screening within clinic systems were effective at increasing screening[ 10].
There is robust evidence that client reminders, tailored information sheets, one-to-one education, and provider audit and feedback mechanisms are effective at increasing cancer screening uptake [ 27].
When practiced by well trained personnel, mammo-graphic screening is effective at reducing mortality by 30 to 40%, albeit at the expense of some overdiagnosis and treatment.
Both of these genes were identified by previous screens for inhibitors of phase 2 detoxification gene expression, confirming that our screening conditions were effective at identifying regulators of gcs-1p::gfp [ 13, 17].
The OBSP removes some of the barriers to breast screening and is effective at increasing mammography reattendance.
We identified one mutant that exhibited a complete L1 arrest after treatment with low doses of UV containing a novel allele of the NER endonuclease xpg-1, thus providing a proof of principle that our screening strategy was effective at discovering mutations in DNA repair genes (data not shown).
Although we and others largely focused on this traditional efficacy window, morpholino-based screening has also been effective at identifying novel loci critical for later developmental processes (e.g. [ 7]).
It's not difficult at all to imagine the system being effective at eliciting "real" enough conversation from the human it's screening.
