Abstract
Methods of meta-analysis, computer modeling, and issue analysis are used to answer four key questions related to efficacy, cost, and political feasibility of legislating insurance coverage for mammography. The findings are presented, and the strengths and weaknesses of the combined use of these methods to inform policy debate at the regional level are discussed.Keywords
