The most effective method of detecting breast cancer among asymptomatic women is by mammography screening. Most countries have this preventive measure in place for women within their society; however, most of these programs struggle with attendance. This article discusses four health behavioural theories and models in relation to mammography screening that may explain the factors affecting women's participation, including the health belief model, theory of planned behaviour, trans-theoretical model, and the theory of care seeking behaviour. In summary, analysis of these theories indicates that the theory of care seeking behaviour has value for exploring these factors because of its sensitivity to socioeconomic differences that exist among women in society and because it has a broader construct (such as habit and external factors) compared to the other health behavioural theories.
在无症状女性中检测乳腺癌最有效的方法是通过乳房X光检查筛查。大多数国家在其社会中为女性实施了这种预防措施；然而，这些项目中的大多数都面临着参与率低的问题。本文讨论了与乳房X光检查筛查相关的四种健康行为理论和模型，这些理论和模型可能解释影响女性参与的因素，包括健康信念模型、计划行为理论、跨理论模型和就医行为理论。总之，对这些理论的分析表明，就医行为理论在探索这些因素方面具有价值，因为它对社会中女性存在的社会经济差异敏感，并且与其他健康行为理论相比，它具有更广泛的结构（如习惯和外部因素）。
