✦ Synopsis

Access to annual screening mammography among American Indians is limited, and data regarding breast cancer risk factors or mammography in these women are scarce. Although average breast cancer mortality rates are lower than those of all races in the United States, rates vary widely between tribes (3.9 -24.6/100,000; 1991-1993), with the highest mortality rates in the Aberdeen Area of the Indian Health Service (AAIHS).
