法在1,113名随机选择的投保州立大学员工中进行了一项调查，以评估美国癌症协会乳房X线摄影指南的知识，对乳房X线摄影筛查保险范围的认识，以前的指南遵守情况和未来的乳房X线摄影意图。该调查包括两封邮件，其中包括对未回复者的后续电话，拒绝率为6%。受访者相对更有可能知道老年群体的指南; 77%的人知道50岁以上女性的指南。超过三分之一的受访者不知道他们的保险政策包括乳房X光检查。对于从未做过乳房X光检查的女性来说，保险知识与将来做乳房X光检查的意图显著相关。以前的筛查依从性，以及未来的意图，是积极相关的受访者的年龄。与以往的研究结果进行了对比，并讨论了未来乳腺癌筛查活动的内容的影响。
Method. A survey was conducted among 1,113 randomly selected insured state university employees to evaluate knowledge of the American Cancer Society mammography guidelines, awareness of insurance coverage for screening mammograms, previous guideline adherence, and future mammography intentions.Results. The survey, which included two mailings with follow-up phone calls of nonresponders, had a refusal rate of 6%. Respondents were relatively more likely to know the guidelines for older age groups; 77% knew the guideline for women 50+. Over one-third of the respondents were not aware that their insurance policy covered screening mammograms. For women who had never had a mammogram, insurance knowledge was significantly related to intentions to have a mammogram in the future. Previous screening adherence, as well as future intentions, was positively related to the age of the respondent. The results are contrasted with those of previous studies, and the implications for the content of future breast cancer screening campaigns are discussed.
