The Latina Breast Cancer Screening (LBCS) was developed to measure Latinas' culturally-shared health beliefs about breast cancer and breast cancer screening. A 60-item LBCS scale was tested with 288 participants and reduced to 35 items using principal components analyses. The 35-item LBCS scale and other measures were administered to a second sample of 147 participants to establish the scale's validity and reliability. A six-factor solution suggested six LBCS sub-scales. The LBCS in its entirety displayed strong internal consistency (alpha =.93) with adequate estimates of convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity. The LBCS scale appears to be a valid and reliable measure.
拉丁裔乳腺癌筛查（LBCS）旨在衡量拉丁裔人群对乳腺癌和乳腺癌筛查的文化共享健康信念。一项包含 60 个条目的 LBCS 量表对 288 名参与者进行了测试，并通过主成分分析将其简化为 35 个条目。35 项 LBCS 量表和其他措施被用于第二个样本 147 名参与者中，以确定该量表的有效性和可靠性。一个六因素的解决方案提示了六个 LBCS 子量表。整个 LBCS 显示出很强的内部一致性（alpha =.93），具有足够的收敛、区分和预测效度的估计。LBCS 量表似乎是一个有效和可靠的测量工具。
