Abstract

OBJECTIVES

To assess the effectiveness of breast health promoting messages administered by salon stylists to clients in the salon setting.

METHODS

Forty salons in an urban, minority area were randomly assigned to provide messages to clients or to serve as controls. Pre-intervention surveys were completed by 1,185 salon clients. Following program initiation, assessments of 1,210 clients were conducted.

RESULTS

Among women completing surveys at control salons, 10% reported exposure to breast health messages, as opposed to 37% at experimental salons (OR 5.4, 95% CI 3.7-7.9). Self-reported exposure to stylist-delivered messages was associated with improved breast self-examination rates (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2-2.1) and with greater intentions to have a clinical breast examination (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1-3.3).

CONCLUSION

Hair salons are a potentially important venue for promotion of health behaviors related to breast cancer detection.

摘要

目的

评估美发沙龙造型师向沙龙环境中的顾客传递的乳房健康促进信息的效果。

方法

在一个城市少数民族地区的40家美发沙龙被随机分配，一组向顾客传递信息，另一组作为对照组。1185名美发沙龙顾客完成了干预前的调查。项目启动后，对1210名顾客进行了评估。

结果

在对照组美发沙龙完成调查的女性中，10%报告接触过乳房健康信息，而在实验组美发沙龙这一比例为37%（比值比5.4，95%可信区间3.7 - 7.9）。自我报告接触造型师传递的信息与乳房自我检查率提高（比值比1.6，95%可信区间1.2 - 2.1）以及进行临床乳房检查的意愿增强（比值比1.9，95%可信区间1.1 - 3.3）相关。
