To determine the relationship between breast cancer screening knowledge and intent to receive a mammogram within 6 months in a sample of Mexican-origin women living in El Paso, Texas.
A total of 489 uninsured Mexican-origin women were assigned to treatment or control and completed surveys at pre- and postintervention. Pre-post associations between breast cancer screening knowledge and intent were tested.
Participants were on average were 56.7 years of age and spoke primarily Spanish (92.6%). Most of the samples had not had a mammogram in 3 or more years (51.6%) and 14.6% had never had a mammogram. At baseline, the majority intended to be screened for breast cancer within the next 6 months (93.4%). At postintervention, half of the intervention group changed their 6-month intent to be screened for breast cancer from likely to unlikely. Change in intent was associated with a change in knowledge of risk of having a first child by the age of 30 and breast cancer being rare after the age of 70.
Intent to be screened for breast cancer in Mexican-origin women may be influenced by the type of knowledge.
Change in screening knowledge may influence perceived risk that influences intention to be screened.
确定居住在得克萨斯州埃尔帕索的墨西哥裔女性样本中，乳腺癌筛查知识与6个月内接受乳房X光检查意愿之间的关系。
总共489名未参保的墨西哥裔女性被分配到治疗组或对照组，并在干预前后完成调查。测试了乳腺癌筛查知识与意愿之间的干预前后关联。
参与者平均年龄为56.7岁，主要说西班牙语（92.6%）。大多数样本在3年或更长时间内未进行过乳房X光检查（51.6%），14.6%的人从未进行过乳房X光检查。在基线时，大多数人打算在接下来的6个月内接受乳腺癌筛查（93.4%）。在干预后，干预组中有一半人将其在6个月内接受乳腺癌筛查的意愿从可能转变为不太可能。意愿的改变与30岁前生育头胎的风险以及70岁后乳腺癌罕见的知识变化有关。
墨西哥裔女性接受乳腺癌筛查的意愿可能受知识类型的影响。
筛查知识的改变可能会影响感知风险，进而影响筛查意愿。
