Abstract Details

2011, Master of Science, Miami University, Family and Child Studies.
This study examined compliance in mammography screening among a sample of African American and Caucasian women aged 40 and over, using data from the 2005 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS). The socio-ecological model helped to identify the psychosocial associations that influence breast cancer screening. Compared to Caucasian women, African American women reported significantly higher psychological distress (M=1.7, SD=.69; M=1.9, SD=.84, respectively). Logistic regression indicated that race (z = 5.556), age (z = 22.933), household income (z = 8.398), health coverage (z = 6.772), and having a family history of breast cancer (z = 5.167) have significant predictive contributions to compliance.
