Psychosocial consequences among women with false-positive results after mammography screening in Norway.

CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that the psychosocial consequences from having false-positive screening mammography results diminish after six months. The results support previous research describing breast-specific outcomes. However, our results indicate that Norwegian women are less frightened than other Scandinavian mammography screening participants. PMID: 30296861 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
