Self-reported behavior and attitudes toward breast self-examination (BSE) among 230 female college students age 20 and older revealed that less than one in four were compliant with American Cancer Society recommendations of monthly practice. Respondents were classified as examiners (N = 113) if they reported BSE practice at least 6 times a year. A discriminant analysis produced a significant degree of separation between examiners and non-examiners (chi 2(3) = 90.199, p less than .005) and identified three variables which significantly discriminated the groups. Examiners were more familiar with BSE, more worried about cancer, and more willing to increase their knowledge about BSE. Initial exposure to BSE was from physicians or print media; however, subjects expressed a preference for learning more about the technique in a person-to-person setting with another woman or women. Respondents reported that reminders would be likely to increase BSE frequency.
对230名20岁及以上的女大学生进行的关于乳房自我检查（BSE）的自我报告行为和态度调查显示，不到四分之一的人遵守美国癌症协会每月进行乳房自我检查的建议。如果受访者报告每年至少进行6次乳房自我检查，则被归类为检查者（N = 113）。判别分析显示检查者和非检查者之间有显著的区分度（卡方(3)=90.199，p<.005），并确定了三个能显著区分两组的变量。检查者对乳房自我检查更熟悉，更担心患癌症，也更愿意增加对乳房自我检查的了解。最初接触乳房自我检查是通过医生或印刷媒体；然而，受试者表示更喜欢在与其他女性一对一的环境中更多地了解这项技术。受访者报告说提醒可能会增加乳房自我检查的频率。
