目标.本研究的目的是检验一个假设，即在一个社区意外的高失业率与登记的乳腺肿瘤是本地的几率降低。从1983年1月开始的132个月的数据从旧金山弗朗西斯科的假设进行了测试。结果。登记的乳房谣言不太可能是当地在意外的高失业率期间（8%，不太可能在非西班牙裔白色妇女和24%，不太可能在非洲裔美国妇女）。失业可能会限制获得保健服务。对失业的恐惧也可能分散妇女对乳房自我检查和识别可疑乳房体征的注意力。
Objectives. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that unexpectedly high unemployment in a community is associated with reduced odds that registered breast tumors are local.Methods. The hypothesis was tested with data from San Francisco for the 132 months beginning with January 1983.Results. Registered breast rumors were less likely to be local during periods of unexpectedly high unemployment (8% less likely among non-Hispanic White women and 24% less likely among African American-women).Conclusions. Job loss may restrict access to health services. Fear of job loss may also distract women from breast self-examination and the identification of suspicious breast signs.
