A base-line survey of women's opinions on breast cancer and breast self-examination (BSE) suggested a link between high awareness of BSE and a view of breast cancer as the most worrying illness they could suffer. Data from pre-teaching questionnaires compares awareness of and performance of BSE with six opinions related to the vulnerability of women to breast cancer and to possible outcomes. Inferences from statistically significant associations, which also replicated survey findings, led to the development of three alternative models of teaching methods. The findings also suggest that "concern" is a more accurate term than "anxiety" in describing perceptions of vulnerability and of BSE.
一项关于女性对乳腺癌及乳房自我检查（BSE）看法的基线调查表明，对BSE的高度认知与将乳腺癌视为她们可能罹患的最令人担忧的疾病这一观点之间存在联系。教学前问卷调查的数据将BSE的认知与实践情况与六项关于女性患乳腺癌的易感性及可能结果的观点进行了比较。具有统计学意义的关联所做的推断（这些推断也重复了调查结果）促成了三种替代教学方法模型的形成。研究结果还表明，在描述对易感性和BSE的认知时，“担忧”比“焦虑”是一个更准确的术语。
