Our objective was to determine the influence of health consciousness in the utilization of mammography in asymptomatic African American women. The sample consisted of 670 women who participated in a household interview in two cities. Logistic regression was used to determine the independent effects of health consciousness, holding constant other factors believed to be related to mammography utilization. Health insurance, income below the poverty line, and an annual physical were not significant predictors. The single most important predictor of having a mammogram was the regular practice of breast self-examination; the group of women who practiced self-examination was almost twice as likely to have a mammogram.
我们的目标是确定健康意识对无症状非裔美国女性进行乳房X光检查的影响。样本包括670名在两个城市参加家庭访谈的女性。采用逻辑回归来确定健康意识的独立影响，同时保持其他被认为与乳房X光检查利用相关的因素不变。健康保险、贫困线以下收入和年度体检并不是显著的预测因素。进行乳房X光检查的最重要单一预测因素是定期进行乳房自我检查；进行自我检查的女性群体进行乳房X光检查的可能性几乎是其他女性的两倍。
