A survey of breast cancer and breast cancer screening beliefs was mailed to a random sample of 1,000 women who contacted a telephone bank in response to a television-promoted, reduced-cost mammography project. Beliefs and demographics of women in the sample who subsequently completed a mammogram were compared with those who did not. No statistically significant differences were found between participants (persons who completed a mammogram) and nonparticipants with respect to age, race, marital status, income, or educational preparation. Groups also did not differ significantly in the series of beliefs examined. Factor analysis revealed respondents' most salient beliefs about breast cancer and early detection of breast cancer. Evidence is presented to suggest a need for enhanced efforts to recruit minority group women to participate in mammography screening.
一项关于乳腺癌及乳腺癌筛查观念的调查被邮寄给了1000名女性的随机样本,这些女性是因电视宣传的低成本乳房X光检查项目而联系电话服务中心的。将样本中随后完成乳房X光检查的女性的观念和人口统计学特征与未完成的女性进行了比较。在年龄、种族、婚姻状况、收入或教育程度方面,参与者(完成乳房X光检查的人)和非参与者之间未发现统计学上的显著差异。在所考察的一系列观念中,两组也没有显著差异。因子分析揭示了受访者对乳腺癌和乳腺癌早期检测的最突出观念。有证据表明,需要加大力度招募少数群体女性参与乳房X光检查筛查。
