DEVELOPING SIMULATION DYNAMIC MODELS OF BREAST CANCER SCREENING

摘要

Within the health field, there appear to be few system dynamic models available for examining major public policy options. In the field of breast cancer screening, the results of several simulation models have been published, but none of the models uses system dynamic modelling. This paper describes the development of two system dynamic models of mammographic (X-ray) screening for breast cancer, and illustrates their use.
