Summary

Reducing unnecessary screening requires understanding what patients actually value. This national discrete-choice experiment surveyed 673 women aged 70 years and older about strategies for de-implementing mammography over screening. Participants preferred discussions with clinicians and balanced information about benefits and harms, suggesting that effective de-implementation may depend more on shared decision-making than calculators or checklists.
