Fewer respondents reported that clinical breast examination (CBE) or breast self\u2010examination (BSE) was very effective, but the majority rated CBE and BSE as somewhat effective. The majority of PCPs routinely recommended mammography, CBE, and BSE to patients aged \u2265 40 years. In multivariate models, family\/general practitioners (odds ratio [OR], 2.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.57\u20103.17 for mammography; OR, 4.42; 95% CI, 2.60\u20107.52 for CBE) and internal medicine specialists (OR, 3.21; 95% CI, 2.21\u20104.66 for mammography; OR, 5.34; 95% CI, 3.21\u20108.88 for CBE) were more likely to recommend an upper age limit for screening than obstetrician\/gynecologists. Physicians who reported that US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines were very influential were more likely to recommend an age at which they no longer recommend mammography and CBE.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title><jats:p>To the authors' knowledge, the current study is the first national study in over 2 decades to report the breast cancer screening practices of PCPs and provides baseline data for monitoring the impact of changes in clinical practice guidelines. The current findings suggested that virtually all PCPs routinely recommend mammography, CBE, and BSE to their patients aged \u2265 40 years, although recommendations vary by primary care specialty.
