乳腺癌是非裔美国女性癌症死亡的第二大原因。据记录，内城区非裔美国人老年群体的癌症筛查参与率较低。关于乳腺癌和筛查的知识和信念，以及进行乳房自我检查的自我效能，是旨在提高乳腺癌筛查参与度的教育计划的重要组成部分。本研究的目的是确定受试者的乳腺癌知识、他们在进行乳房自我检查时的信心水平，以及个体指导、一对一练习和表现反馈是否对筛查实践产生影响。研究结果表明，更强化的训练干预可以维持乳房检查的自我效能。
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality in African American women. Low rates of cancer screening participation have been documented in inner-city elderly African American populations. Knowledge and beliefs about breast cancer and screening, and self-efficacy in performing breast self-examinations, are important components in an educational program aimed at increasing participation in breast cancer screening. The objectives of this study were to determine the breast cancer knowledge of subjects, their level of confidence when performing breast self-examination, and if individual instruction, one-to-one practice, and feedback on performance made a difference in screening practices. The findings suggest that a more intensive training intervention sustains breast examination self-efficacy.
