“…It has been reported that women's knowledge about disease risk, their incomes, race, and relations with their primary care physicians, and their worries correlate with participation in mammography screening. [14] The results of a community-based mammography screening program performed in Spain [15] and Colorado [16] showed that the possibility of not undergoing mammography was higher in elderly women, which is similar to our findings. A study performed in Sweden showed that married and more educated women had higher participation rates than single, widowed or divorced and lower educated women.…”

“…[17] Another study performed by Augustson et al [18] reported that women with at least a high school education were more likely to be adherent to mammography screening. Carney et al [14] reported that those with social security, women with cancer in their first-degree relatives, and those undergoing hormone replacement treatments participated in the screening more frequently than did women who did not have these characteristics. According to our results and the other studies listed above, age and educational status seem the most influential factors affecting participation in the mammography screening.…”

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the demographic or risk factors affecting participation in a population-based breast screening with mammography program in a rural area of Turkey. Patients and Methods:This definitive epidemiological study was carried out between December 2002 and August 2003, in a town of Ankara. Of the 784 women, 710 were interviewed and 462 (58.9%) of them participated in the screening. A questionnaire was used for collecting data. Results: The mean age of the women was 50.7±10.0 years. Fifty four percent of the single, widowed or divorced women (p=0.001), 62.5% of those aged 60 years or older (p<0.001), and 42.8% of the illiterate or literate women (p<0.001) did not participate the screening. Women, who were elder had a 1.1-fold greater risk of nonparticipation in mammography screening than younger ones (95% confidence interval, 1.04-1.09), and those who were postmenopausal had 1.5-fold greater risk than those who were premenopausal (95% confidence interval, 1.04-2.22). Conclusion: Age, marital, educational and menopausal statuses seem to be effective on participation in the population-based study. Screening programs should be planned considering these factors. Bekar dul veya boşanmış olanların %54'ünün (p=0.0001), 60 yaş ve üzerindekilerin %62.5'inin (p<0.001) ve okuma yazma bilmeyen veya okur yazar olanların %42.8'inin (p<0.001) taramaya katılmadığı saptandı. Yaşlı kadınların gençlere göre mamografi taramasına katılmama riskinin 1.1 kat (1.04-1.09; %95 güven aralığı) ve menopoz sonrası dönemde olanların menopoz öncesi dönemde olanlara göre 1.5 kat (1.04-2.22; %95 güven aralığı) daha fazla olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Topluma dayalı meme kanseri taramasına katılımı etkileyen faktörler yaş, medeni durum, eğitim durumu ve menopozda olup olmamadır. Tarama planlanırken katılımı az olabilecek grupların katılımını artıracak uygulamaların geliştirilmesi önerilmektedir.

“…Similarly, in a parent study of this current paper on Chinese women in China, the rates of regular mammographic screening varied between regions from 4.8-28.8% (Kim et al, 2011). Previous studies explained sociocultural and individual beliefs and perceptions to be associated with mammography adherence (Carney et al, 2002;Chua et al, 2005;Wang et al, 2009;Lee et al, 2010). For example, as reported in the study by Wang et al (2009) Chinese women were less interested in going for a mammography because the traditional method of cancer prevention promotes maintaining a balanced diet, using herbs, and exercising as the best approach (Wang et al, 2009).…”

“…Besides participants' knowledge of cancer risk, barriers such as fear of embarrassment or pain have been associated with the attendance of screening (Carney et al, 2002;Wang et al, 2009;Kim et al, 2011). Perceived benefits and barriers have an important role towards the change in behaviors and is a key predictor of cancer prevention practices (Wang et al, 2009).…”

Background: Despite the efficacy of regular mammograms, the incidence and mortality rate of breast cancer have been increasing in China. Insufficient studies on the factors affecting mammography adherence in Chinese married women have been conducted. The purpose of the present study was to explore the factors associated with adherence to guidelines for regular mammography among Chinese married women. Materials and Methods: The participants were recruited conveniently and included Chinese and Korean Chinese women who were married, living at Yanbian City in China. Demographic information, status regarding eight risk factors of breast cancer, health responsibility, and perceived benefits/barriers of mammography were obtained. Descriptive analyses, t-test, and multivariate analysis were performed. Hierarchical logistic regression was conducted to explore the factors associated with regular mammography adherence in Chinese and Korean Chinese subgroups. Results: About 24% of the sample population was adherent in going for regular mammography. The adherent group was significantly more educated, had more children, and had a lower proportion experiencing early menarche and a greater menopausal proportion than the non-adherent group. The final model using logistic regression analysis showed that being Chinese

[Clark, 2003] Measures of regular screening are more difficult to compare because of larger variations between definitions.…”

Objective-Estimates of adherence to mammography screening guidelines vary, in part, due to lack of consensus on defining adherence. This study estimated adherence to repeat (two successive on-time screenings) and regular screening (three or more successive screenings) and evaluated the impact of varying operational definitions and evaluation periods.Methods-The study included women aged 50-80 without a history of breast cancer who: were on a biennial screening cycle and due for a screening mammogram between 1995 and 1996; underwent screening (index date) in response to a reminder letter; and belonged to Group Health, an integrated health care delivery system in Washington State, for six or more years after the index date. Automated records provided information on enrollment, health care utilization, and procedures.Results-Among 1336 women, 67-82% experienced a repeat screen. Adherence to regular screening over the six year evaluation period was 42-84%-and higher with longer allowable intervals between screenings, when definitions did not require on-schedule screenings, when intervals were reset after a diagnostic mammogram, and for shorter evaluation periods.Conclusion-Estimates of adherence to screening guidelines varied by the operational definition of "success" and time period of evaluation. Consensus in definitions and terminology is needed to compare evaluations.
