This study aimed to compare the screening rate trends of mammography among New York State's lower-income women and the higher-income women from 1988 to 2010, and evaluate the potential influence of New York State's Breast Cancer Early Detection Program (introduced in 1994) on the mammography use rates of lower-income women.
