目标。评估沙龙造型师在沙龙环境中向客户传达的促进乳房健康的信息的有效性。方法：研究方法。城市少数民族地区的40家沙龙被随机分配给客户或作为对照。1185名沙龙客户完成了干预前调查。方案启动后，对1210名客户进行了评估。结果。在对照沙龙完成调查的女性中，10%的人报告接触过乳房健康信息，而在实验沙龙的这一比例为37%(OR 5.4,950/6CI 3.7-7.9)。自我报告接触造型师传递的信息与乳房自检率的提高(OR 1.6，95%CI 1.2-2.1)和更大的临床乳房检查意向(OR 1.9，95%CI 1.1-3.3)相关。结论。美发沙龙是促进与乳腺癌检测相关的健康行为的潜在重要场所。
Objectives. To assess the effectiveness of breast health promoting messages administered by salon stylists to clients in the salon setting. Methods. Forty salons in an urban, minority area were randomly assigned to provide messages to clients or to serve as controls. Pre-intervention surveys were completed by 1,185 salon clients. Following program initiation, assessments of 1,210 clients were conducted. Results. Among women completing surveys at control salons, 10% reported exposure to breast health messages, as opposed to 37% at experimental salons (OR 5.4, 950/6 CI 3.7-7.9). Self-reported exposure to stylist-delivered messages was associated with improved breast self-examination rates (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2-2.1) and with greater intentions to have a clinical breast examination (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1-3.3). Conclusion. Hair salons are a potentially important venue for promotion of health behaviors related to breast cancer detection.
