研究背景对健康相关行为的综合而非单一研究将为健康促进提供更全面的方法。这项调查的重点是乳房X光检查和巴氏试验。创建了一个索引，以反映最近接受这两次考试的情况。第二个指数集成的意见，这两个程序到一个单一的措施，指导的优点，缺点，和决策的平衡结构的Transtheoretical Model of behaviorchanges.MethodData的行为变化从基线和1年的随访调查的HMO样本的妇女年龄40-74（N= 1,605）。通过电话收集数据。一系列的分析检查是否最近的筛查与意见有关screening.ResultsThe第一次分析表明，巴氏试验的最近，是否巴氏试验之间获得两次调查与巴氏试验的意见有关。接下来的分析检查了巴氏试验和乳房X光检查的规律性指标之间的关联，以及对这两种程序的意见。变量测量接收巴氏试验和乳房X光检查与相结合的措施opinions.ConclusionsThe能力，采用组合指标的新近测试和测试相关的意见是有希望的，能够采取更全面的方法来妇女的健康。本文讨论了方法上的考虑时，试图整合两个或两个以上的行为。
BackgroundThe ability to study health-related behaviors in combination rather than singly will lead to a more comprehensive approach to health promotion. This investigation focused on mammography and Pap testing. One index was created to reflect the recency of receiving both examinations. A second index integrated opinions about the two procedures into a single measure, guided by the pros, cons, and decisional balance constructs of the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change.MethodData were drawn from the baseline and 1-year follow-up surveys of an HMO sample of women ages 40–74 (N= 1,605). Data collection occurred by telephone. A series of analyses examined whether recency of screening was associated with opinions about screening.ResultsThe first analysis showed that recency of Pap testing and whether or not a Pap test was obtained between the two surveys were associated with opinions about Pap testing. The next analysis examined the association between the indicator for regularity of both Pap testing and mammography, with the measure of opinions toward the two procedures. The variable measuring receipt of Pap test and mammography was associated with the combined measure of opinions.ConclusionsThe ability to employ combined indicators for recency of testing and test-related opinions is promising for being able to take a more comprehensive approach to women's health. The paper discusses methodological considerations that arise when attempting to integrate two or more behaviors.
