This study aimed to examine whether knowledge, attitudes and concerns predicted attendance at the mobile Breast X-Ray Programme in Sydney. A cohort study design was used, whereby women were surveyed prior to the implementation of the program, and two years later records were checked to determine whether they had attended for screening. Telephone interviews were sought with randomly selected women aged 45 to 70 years living in the central Sydney area (the screening van's catchment area). A total of 285 women was surveyed (response rate: 50 per cent). Of these, 86 (30 per cent) subsequently attended at the mobile van and 199 did not. Attendance did not appear to be related to any of the following factors: knowledge; attitudes; prior experience; perceived susceptibility and morbid concern in relation to breast cancer; the amount of information about screening mammography to which a woman had been exposed. The results are interpreted in light of methodological considerations plus findings from our other research.
本研究旨在调查知识、态度和担忧因素是否能预测悉尼流动乳腺X光检查项目的参与情况。研究采用队列研究设计，在项目实施前对女性进行调查，两年后检查记录以确定她们是否参加了筛查。对居住在悉尼市中心地区（筛查车的服务区域）年龄在45至70岁之间的女性进行随机电话访谈。共调查了285名女性（回复率：50%）。其中，86名（30%）随后前往流动筛查车进行检查，199名未前往。参与情况似乎与以下任何因素均无关联：知识；态度；既往经历；对乳腺癌的感知易感性和病态担忧；女性接触到的有关乳腺钼靶筛查的信息量。结合方法学考量以及我们其他研究的结果对这些结果进行了解读。
