Whether culture-based modesty may be a barrier to women's health care has been a longstanding question. Numerous studies have noted that, in certain cultures, modesty is considered a barrier to mammography screening and breast feeding. Though modesty has been noted as an inherent aspect of the lived experience of many cultures, no extant measures or clear definitions were found. Jewish women, some having strict rules regarding modesty, were sampled to understand their definition of modesty. These perspectives were objectively analyzed using Q methodology. We found that although some perspectives on modesty may be accounted for by culture, there are others that are not.
文化习俗导致的含蓄是否会成为女性获得医疗保健的障碍，这是一个由来已久的问题。许多研究指出，在某些文化中，含蓄被视为进行乳房 X 光筛查和母乳喂养的障碍。尽管含蓄被认为是许多文化的固有方面，但目前还没有找到相关的衡量标准或明确的定义。研究人员抽取了一些有着严格的含蓄习俗的犹太女性进行样本分析，以了解她们对含蓄的定义。使用 Q 方法学对这些观点进行了客观分析。我们发现，虽然一些关于含蓄的观点可能受到文化的影响，但也有一些观点并非如此。
