Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer is a prevalent disease that can be more successfully treated with early diagnosis, yet many women do not follow recommended mammography guidelines.
- A study involving 458 female teachers in Hamadan, Iran, explored the factors influencing mammography participation through the health belief model, showing that only 41.5% had undergone the procedure at least once.
- Key findings indicated that age, insurance coverage, and a history of breast disease significantly impacted the likelihood of women getting mammograms, with perceived barriers also playing a role.
