In the framework of the National Fund for Prevention, Health Education and Information, the setting-up in France, on an experimental basis, of mass breast cancer screening programs by mammography in ten departments leads to suggest a common protocol for the evaluation of these programs, before an eventual generalization to the whole country. These programs are based on common principles: local screening based on existing medical facilities, single view mammography with double reading. However, the screening organisation is different in each department according to the target population, the screening interval, the mode of invitation, the methods for arranging double reading, etc. The purpose of this article is to report on the work of the evaluation group of the ten programs, and to propose a methodology for comparing the screening experiences in order to measure the role of the organisation methods. It gives definitions and modes of calculations for the evaluation criteria in four fields: impact, quality, efficacy and cost (with details about the feasibility of data collection) and proposes a reflection on analysis techniques in order to develop an optimum mass screening strategy.
