BACKGROUND
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer incidence and mortality among Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women in the United States. Hmong women are among those at the highest risk for health problems, due to high rates of poverty, language isolation, and cultural barriers.
METHOD
One-on-one survey interviews were completed with 201 Hmong women aged 20 years and older in Fresno, Long Beach, Orange County, and San Diego to determine their breast cancer screening behaviors--breast self-examination (BSE), clinical breast examination (CBE), and mammography.
RESULTS
Overall, 51% of all respondents had ever performed BSE. Among respondents aged 40 or older, 52% had ever had a CBE and only 30% had ever had mammography.
DISCUSSION
Significant correlates of CBE and mammography screening are presented, and implications of findings for research and education are discussed.
背景
在美国，乳腺癌是亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民（AAPI）女性中癌症发病率和死亡率的主要原因。苗族女性由于贫困率高、语言不通和文化障碍，属于健康问题风险最高的人群之一。
方法
对弗雷斯诺、长滩、奥兰治县和圣地亚哥的201名20岁及以上的苗族女性进行了一对一的调查访谈，以确定她们的乳腺癌筛查行为——乳房自我检查（BSE）、临床乳房检查（CBE）和乳房X光检查。
结果
总体而言，所有受访者中有51%曾进行过乳房自我检查。在40岁及以上的受访者中，52%曾进行过临床乳房检查，只有30%曾进行过乳房X光检查。
讨论
介绍了临床乳房检查和乳房X光检查筛查的显著相关因素，并讨论了研究结果对研究和教育的意义。
