The objective of this study was to identify predictors of self-reported family health history of breast cancer in an ethnically diverse population of women participating in a breast cancer screening program. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire about their demography, health, breast health and family health history of breast cancer. The association between family health history of breast cancer and categorical variables were analyzed using the T test, chi square, and multi-nominal logistic regression. Those who were least likely to report a family history of cancer were African Americans (p = 0.02), and immigrant women from South America (p < 0.001) and Africa (p = 0.04). However, 34.4 % reported having a second-degree maternal relative with breast cancer compared to 6.9 % who reported having a second degree paternal relative with breast cancer. Therefore, there is a need to increase efforts to educate families about the importance of collecting and sharing one's family health history.
本研究的目的是在参与乳腺癌筛查项目的不同种族女性群体中，确定自我报告的乳腺癌家族病史的预测因素。参与者完成了一份关于其人口统计学、健康状况、乳腺健康和乳腺癌家族病史的自填式问卷。使用T检验、卡方检验和多项逻辑回归分析乳腺癌家族病史与分类变量之间的关联。最不可能报告癌症家族史的是非洲裔美国人（p = 0.02），以及来自南美洲的移民女性（p < 0.001）和非洲的移民女性（p = 0.04）。然而，34.4%的人报告有一位患乳腺癌的二级母系亲属，相比之下，报告有一位患乳腺癌的二级父系亲属的人占6.9%。因此，有必要加大力度教育家庭了解收集和分享个人家族健康史的重要性。
