风险感知态度(RPA)框架根据人们对风险和个人效能的感知将他们分为4组：响应型(高风险，高效能)、回避(高风险，低效能)、主动性(低风险，高效能)和冷漠(低风险，低效能)。这项研究在华盛顿特区地区的一组印度移民妇女(N=413)中测试了RPA框架中的中心命题，考察了她们关注乳腺癌信息、进行自我检查和临床筛查的倾向。自我效能感和对乳腺癌的了解是这些结果的一致预测因素。使用RPA框架可以解释16%到27%的差异。对乳腺癌预防运动的影响进行了讨论。
The risk perception attitude (RPA) framework classifies people into 4 groups based on their perceptions of risk and personal efficacy: responsive (high risk, high efficacy), avoidance (high risk, low efficacy), proactive (low risk, high efficacy), and indifference (low risk, low efficacy). This study tested the central propositions from the RPA framework among a group of immigrant Indian women (N = 413) in the Washington, DC area in their propensity to pay attention to breast cancer information and engage in self-exams and clinical screening. Self-efficacy and knowledge about breast cancer were consistent predictors of these outcomes. Use of the RPA framework explained 16% to 27% of the variance. Implications for breast cancer prevention campaigns are discussed.
