The intervention included a mailed, educational booklet, computer-assisted barrier-specific tailored counseling and motivational interviewing, and facilitated, short-interval mammography scheduling.Of 127 eligible women, 45 (35.4%) agreed to counseling and data collection. Most wereor =3 years overdue. Twenty-six (57.8%) of the counseled women got a mammogram within 12 months. Thirty-one (72.1%) of 43 counseled women movedor =1 stage closer to screening, based on a modified Precaution Adoption Process Model.It is feasible to reach and counsel women who are long overdue for a mammogram and to advance their stage of adoption.
