对乳腺癌的恐惧与参与筛查呈负相关。然而，研究人员通常只使用一个项目或全球尺度来衡量恐惧。这份报告描述了一个特定于乳腺癌的恐惧量表的发展。来自一项涉及乳房X光检查依从性的大型研究的数据被用来测试乳腺癌恐惧量表的有效性和可靠性。通过因素分析和回归分析预测乳腺X线摄影的结构效度。所有项目加载在一个单一的因素和理论关系进行了验证，线性和逻辑回归。该量表的Cronbach α为0.91。
Fear of breast cancer has been inversely associated with participation in screening. However, investigators have generally used only one item or global scales to measure fear. This report describes development of a fear scale specific to breast cancer. Data from a large study involving mammography adherence were used to test the breast cancer fear scale for validity and reliability. Construct validity was verified through factor analysis and regression analysis predicting mammography. All items loaded on a single factor and theoretical relationships were verified by linear and logistic regression. The Cronbach alpha for the scale was .91.
