The contribution of emotional characteristics to breast cancer screening among women from six ethnic groups
Abstract
Background This study was designed to determine which of several emotional propensities were associated with the frequency of mammograms and clinical breast exams among six groups of minority women. Three emotion-related variables that have been identified in the previous literature as influencing screening were examined: Repression, cancer worry, and embarrassment. However, these variables have never been examined within the same study, nor where relevant background variables are controlled.Methods 1364 African American, US-born white, English-speaking Caribbean, Haitian, Dominican, and Eastern European women were recruited via stratified-cluster sampling. Participants provided demographics and measures of beliefs and knowledge.Results As expected, self-regulation and cancer worry were both positively associated with mammogram and clinical breast exam frequency, while embarrassment regarding having a mammogram was negatively associated with screening. These results held even after controlling for demographic variables and the presence or absence of physician recommendation. Screening rates for African American women equaled or exceeded the rates for European Americans. Other minority subpopulations had even lower screening rates, including women from the English-speaking Caribbean and Haitians.Conclusions Results are discussed in terms of their implications for screening intervention, models of health behavior, and the need for more precise operationalizations of ethnicity in screening research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
