Citation Health Quality Ontario. Women's experiences of inaccurate breast cancer screening results: a systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis. Toronto: Health Quality Ontario (HQO). Ontario health technology assessment series; 16(16). 2016 Authors' conclusions Qualitative studies provide some insight into how breast cancer screening inaccuracy affects women, including their faith in the screening technology. Although women suffered marked anxiety from experiencing false-positive mammography tests and loss of confidence from false- negative results, these feelings generally did not diminish women's belief in the value of mammography screening. In many cases, the experiences reinforced the importance of risk reduction as well as screening.
