Abstract
A public health education campaign to encourage early reporting of breast symptoms was held in Southampton, England, UK during Feb. 1981. General practitioners kept a record of women consulting them about breast symptoms. The results were confounded by a recording behavior effect but provided no evidence of a pronounced increase in their work load. There was no overall increase in hospital outpatient work load.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
