“…The applied model for this study explained 24.1% to 33.3% of the variance for the intention. These prediction levels are comparable with those of other cancer-screening studies (14,16,21). However, the poorer predictive value of the intention to receive full-cost screening may result from subjects' thinking that test costs would be covered in return for participating in the study.…”

“…Questionnaire items to measure attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention were developed using a direct measurement method (14,16,18). In addition, sociodemographic variables, the economic burden of screening, previous experience with stomach cancer screening, and the perceived risk for becoming ill with stomach cancer were included in the questionnaire (8,16,21).…”

“…Using the theory of planned behavior model, some health-behavior studies have proposed that sociodemographic factors, previous screening experience, economic status, and perceived risk may affect not only intention and behavior but also attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control (8,11,16,17,21,22).…”

Although stomach cancer screening is effective for reducing mortality, it is underutilized in Korea. By applying an extended theory of planned behavior model, our objective was to determine how personal background factors influence a patient's inclination to be screened for stomach cancer. The study population was derived from the 2006 Korean National Cancer Screening Survey, which was done to investigate the participation of the general population in cancer screening. In total, 1,509 Koreans who were 40 to 70 years old participated in this study. Path analysis was used to test a conceptual model in which (a) factors considered as precursors to be screened (components in theory of planned behavior model) directly predicted the intention to be screened and (b) personal background factors, including sociodemographic factors, previous screening experience, economic status, and perceived risk, indirectly influenced the intention to be screened through their effects on cognitive components such as attitude and subjective norm in the theory of planned behavior model. Most of the personal background factors did not directly influence intention but instead influenced cognitive elements in the theory of planned behavior model. Attitude and perceived behavioral control were well correlated with a patient's intention, regardless of the screening cost. (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2008;

Despite being one of the worst affected sectors in South Africa, the mining sector has proven to be one of the most active in intervention efforts in the fight against HIV and AIDS (Ellis, 2007). Owing to low uptake rates of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in mining companies in recent years (Connelly & Rosen, 2006) and the positive relationship between attitudes towards ART and ART uptake (Cooper et al. , 2002; Horne, Cooper, Gellaitry, Leake, & Fisher, 2007), this study sought to describe and investigate the psychosocial and behavioural correlates of attitudes towards ART in a sample of South African mineworkers. A total of 806 mineworkers from a large South African mine participated in this quantitative study. Despite a high rate of HIV testing behaviour (83.0%) as well as favourable attitudes towards ART, analysis indicated that temporary employees and contractors were more vulnerable in terms of HIV risk, HIV testing behaviours and ART knowledge and attitudes. Employees who had more positive attitudes towards ART were more knowledgeable of ART and, importantly, had a more favourable attitude towards the mine's HIV/AIDS treatment programme. These findings are discussed in relation to the low ART uptake rates in this context and recommendations for the improvement of ART uptake amongst employees at this mining site.
