Radiographer gender and breast-screening uptake
BreastCheck, the Irish National Breast Screening Programme, screens women aged 50–64. Radiographer recruitment has been a challenge; doubling of numbers is required for full national expansion; to date females are employed. The aim was to document attitudes to male radiographers and effect on return for subsequent screening. In all 85.8% of a random sample of 2000 women recently screened by BreastCheck completed a postal questionnaire. The commonest reaction women felt they would have if there were a male radiographer was embarrassment; significantly greater among those attending a static unit (45.6%) than mobile (38.4%) and in younger women (46%) than older (38.7%). Nine per cent would not have proceeded if the radiographer was male and 9% would only have proceeded if female chaperone present. In all 17.5% (95% CI 15.7–19.4%) agreed that ‘If there were male radiographers I would not return for another screening appointment'; 18.3% were unsure. One-quarter agreed ‘if I heard there could be male radiographers it would change my opinion of BreastCheck for the worse'. The proportions agreeing with these statements did not vary significantly by screening unit type, age group, area of residence or insurance status. This is the largest published study to date of this important issue; the correct balance between equality and programme performance must be identified
