这篇文章的目的是在一个方便的低收入非裔美国女性样本中描述对乳腺癌风险的感知和对乳房X光检查的感知利益、障碍和坚持乳房X光检查的阶段之间的关系。使用健康信念模型和跨理论模型的理论框架来确定乳房X光摄影坚持的概念和阶段。数据是在多功能中心的候诊室获得的。与(B)冥想(曾想过做乳房X光检查，但尚未采取行动)；(C)行动(做过美国癌症协会推荐的乳房X光检查)；以及(D)复发(过去做过乳房X光检查，但早该做了)相比，以下人群的易感性和益处得分最低：(A)预先考虑(从未想过做乳房X光检查，但尚未采取行动)；以及(D)复发(过去曾做过乳房X光检查，但早该做了)。那些没有做过乳房X光检查的人(预见者和沉思者)的障碍得分最高。此外，女性在行动中的个人障碍明显较低。这一结果对增加低收入非裔美国女性筛查的干预措施具有重要意义。
The purpose of this article is to describe the relation of perceptions of perceived breast cancer risks and perceived benefits and barriers to mammography and stage of mammography adherence in a convenience sample of low-income African American women. The theoretical framework of the Health Belief Model and the Transtheoretical Model were used to identify concepts and stage of mammography adherence. Data were obtained in waiting rooms of multipurpose centers. Scores for susceptibility and benefits were lowest for those who were in (a) precontemplation (had not thought about having a mammogram); as compared to (b) contemplation (had thought about having a mammogram, but not yet acted); (c) action (had a mammogram as recommended by the American Cancer Society); and (d) relapse (had a mammogram in the past, but overdue). Barriers scores were highest for those who had not had a mammogram (precontemplators and contemplators). In addition, individual barriers were significantly lower for women in action. Results have implications for interventions to increase screening in low-income African American women.
