Actual (reported)Breast cancer is the leading female cancer in Singapore, but 3 in 5 women are not going for their regular mammography screenings at recommended frequencies despite 15 years of nationwide efforts by Breast Screen Singapore. The investigators aim to determine the efficacy of opportunistic health promotion for uptake of mammography screening in Singaporean women attending private sector primary care clinics in Singapore by implementing a simple and feasible questionnaire to identify potential candidates for mammography screening, coupled with recommendations by the primary care provider and a directed promotional video produced by Kandang Kerbau Hospital (KKH) that is aimed at addressing some of the barriers to screening.

Participants in the control arm were blinded as to the hypothesis of the study, undergoing a series of questions in about general health behaviours before their consultation, allowing the investigators to determine eligibility for the study. The associated participant information sheets for the control arm did not specifically mention breast cancer screening, maintaining blinding throughout. There was no reminder to the physician to promote mammography to participants. The physician continued with his or her usual counseling on health screening and mammography, if any. A 3-minute health promotion video by the Singapore Heart Foundation on healthy eating habits was administered to each participant, followed by a post-consultation questionnaire. The entire process took approximately 10 minutes.
The intervention comprises 1) GP counseling, 2) 3-minute promotional video on mammography and 3) an informational brochure with relevant contact details and information for arranging a mammography screening. Pre- and post-consultation questionnaire were administered to participants to evaluate their health beliefs, with emphasis on breast cancer and mammography.
