Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between African American women's health beliefs in regard to breast cancer and screening behaviors, knowledge and attitudes that may serve as incentives or barriers to their adherence to routine BSE practices. For the purpose of this research study, reference to African American women encompassed all women whose ancestors were brought from the continent of Africa to the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean, involuntarily. The Health Belief Model (HBM), one of the most widely recognized conceptual frameworks of health behavior, served as the theoretical framework. The Breast Cancer Screening Beliefs Instrument Scale (HBMS) was the instrument used in this study. This instrument explores ethnic differences in attitudes toward health practices, health beliefs, risk estimates, and knowledge about breast cancer and breast cancer screenings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to examine the knowledge of breast cancer screening among African-American women. A descriptive design was used for this study. A convenience sample of 80 African-American women participated in this study. This researcher, from existing literature, developed a questionnaire regarding risk factors, mammograms, and breast self-examination. The findings of this study imply that there is a crucial need to educate women in the African- American community about the importance of breast cancer screening. This is consistent with the research findings cited in this study. With greater knowledge and earlier detection, the breast cancer mortality rate might decrease among African-American women.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in African-American women. Studies have reported that African-American women with breast cancer are more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage of the disease and have a higher mortality rate than white women. Despite this, African-American women are less likely than White women to avail themselves of the benefits of screening mammography. This is most often attributed to lack of education, lack of access, and low socioeconomic status. However, it has been repeatedly shown that when socioeconomic, educational, and logistic barriers are minimized, African-Americans continue to underutilize these screening procedures. In this study, breast cancer screening behaviors and the factors that influence those behaviors were measured by means of a survey questionnaire distributed to members of a defined population of African-American and White women with potentially comparable levels of education, health care access, and socioeconomic status. This report describes the background, objectives, and procedures of this study, and details the work carried out in Year 02, including data collection and analysis. A total of 782 usable surveys were returned from female public school teachers in Philadelphia aged 40 and older. White respondents were more likely than African-Americans to be married or cohabiting, and had significantly higher annual household incomes; they were also more likely to have been adherent to mammography guidelines over the previous five years and to say that they would definitely get a mammogram in the next 24 months. African-Americans, by contrast, were more likely than Whites to have practiced regular breast self-examination. When demographic and health- related factors were controlled for, however, no significant effect of race on mammography adherence or intentions was found.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black women of low-socioeconomic status (SES) demonstrate a higher incidence of breast cancer mortality associated with late-stage diagnosis than White women. Breast cancer screening, including mammography, breast self-examination, and clinical breast examination, remains the most effective route to early detection. Studies indicate poor adherence to breast cancer screening regimens among low-income minority women. An overall objective of the study is the construction of a theoretical model that can explain screening practices in low-SES black women. This will be accomplished in two separate waves. In the first wave, facilitators and barriers to breast cancer-screening participation among low-SES women of African-American and Caribbean descent will be determined through qualitative interview. This approach allows a voice for the concerns and experiences guiding these women in their screening choices. The current study incorporates an approach-avoidance theoretical framework that considers preventive screening behaviors to be both desirable and aversive. Based on the factors provided by respondents on the first wave of the study, a culturally sensitive Q-Sort instrument will be designed that will allow participants to rank order these factors as facilitators or barriers to screening, and therefore, provide a powerful approach to testing the theoretical paradigm. Finally innovative modeling techniques will be applied to determine the strength of emergent models to explain breast health care practices among low-SES Black women, either as idiopathic to the general population or specific to African-American or Caribbean cultural groups.

This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where are the fields of prevention and health promotion for women headed? This valuable book illuminates the need for-and the gains that can be achieved by-targeting prevention/health promotion programs toward minority and low-income women in the communities where they live. Reflecting the rise of women’s health issues to a national priority in the last decade, Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millennium explores the individual and contextual factors-biological, sociocultural, economic, and environmental-that affect the quality and length of women’s lives. It examines current research on disease prevention and the need for health promotion, particularly with minority and hard-to-reach women, and suggests directions for future investigation. Rather than generalizing or pontificating, Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millennium looks up close at specific studies designed to answer questions such as: What kinds of health promotion programs could make the biggest difference in the lives of Native American women, today and tomorrow? How effective are cancer education/support programs for rural women, and what can be done to improve their efficacy? How does sexual orientation influence women’s patterns of health-related behavior? How can female substance abusers lessen the distress issues that often bring on risky behavior? How can we more effectively reach African-American women, who are twice as likely as Caucasian women to develop diabetes, hypertension, and stroke? Well referenced and complete with user-friendly tables that make the statistics of each study easy to work with, Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millennium brings you an incisive look at issues that will become prevention priorities in the near future.
