    Women who attended mammography screening previously used preventive health services, felt vulnerable to breast cancer, and perceived screening as beneficial. These factors influence breast cancer screening attendance.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Medical Sociology
    • Health Psychology

    Background:

    • Mammography screening is crucial for early breast cancer detection.
    • Understanding factors influencing screening attendance is vital for public health interventions.
    • Previous research indicates varied reasons for screening participation and non-participation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze social, psychological, and demographic factors associated with mammography screening attendance.
    • To identify characteristics of women who attend breast screening clinics.
    • To inform strategies for improving breast cancer screening rates.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 654 women aged 45-64 was interviewed before receiving a breast screening invitation.
    • Data on 30 different variables were collected, including social, psychological, and demographic factors.

  • Attendance at the mammography clinic was recorded approximately one month post-invitation.

    • Main Results:

    • Seventy-two percent of the women attended the mammography screening clinic.
    • Women who attended screening had a history of using other preventive health services.
    • Perceived vulnerability to breast cancer and belief in the benefits of screening were significant predictors of attendance.

    Conclusions:

    • Preventive health behavior, perceived risk, and perceived benefits are key determinants of mammography screening uptake.
    • Targeted interventions could leverage these factors to increase screening participation among eligible women.
    • Further research should explore the long-term impact of these factors on screening adherence.
