Abstract

Breast cancer screening behavior and attitudes was measured among a convenience sample of 275 Vietnamese American women as part of a cancer education program evaluation. Follow-up interviews were completed with 178. Only 36% reported having adequate knowledge on this topic, and 87% indicated an interest in receiving more information. Rates of receiving a mammogram were below recommended levels.
