Using data from a larger study, we explored the characteristics of preventive health care practices (influenza vaccination, mammogram, and Pap test) among a representative sample of 1,786 Korean American women residing in California by telephone. Three preventive health care practices were related to the goals set by Healthy People 2010. Participants with no education in the United States, who were born in Korea, resided in the United States longer, and had a primary care provider were more likely than others to reach these goals. Our findings indicate that a behavioral model was suitable to explain the three preventive health care practices.
利用一项规模更大的研究中的数据，我们通过电话对居住在加利福尼亚州的1786名韩裔美国女性的代表性样本进行了调查，以探究预防性医疗保健行为（流感疫苗接种、乳房X光检查和巴氏试验）的特征。三种预防性医疗保健行为与《2010年美国人健康目标》所设定的目标相关。在美国没有接受过教育、出生在韩国、在美国居住时间更长且有初级保健提供者的参与者比其他人更有可能实现这些目标。我们的研究结果表明，行为模型适用于解释这三种预防性医疗保健行为。
