Louise Henderson, PhD, began serving as an R01 co-investigator of a project funded in January 2017 entitled, “Comorbidity and screening outcomes among older women undergoing mammography” (P.I.: Dejana Braithwaite, PhD). Over three years, this study’s goal is to draw from the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium and Medicare claims-based database in determining the consequences following screening in older women. The proposal also applies simulation modeling to comparing the benefits and harms of screening across levels of advancing age, co-morbid illness and functional status.
