dc.description.abstract	US and Australian women's experiences with screening mammography were studied with regard to healthcare delivery systems: the Australian government provides free screening; the US does not. Methods: Self-report surveys concerning mammography experience were administered to 402 Australian and 381 US women having mammograms on mobile facilities. Results: There were no differences in compliance with mammography guidelines. US women had significantly more knowledge about breast cancer risks. Seeing the mobile facility and receiving a reminder were important cues to action for Australians, having a doctor's recommendation was more important for US women. Most Australian women would continue screening if they had to pay for it; most US women said they would be more likely to be compliant if mammography were free.	en_US
