| Research Abstract |
We examined the psychosocial factors affecting middle-aged Japanese women's intentions to undergo mammography, as well as their actual usage longitudinally.
The main results were as follows: (1) Perceived risk and cancer worry affected the intention of undergoing mammography. (2) Intention to use mammography and past mammography usage predicted future usage of mammography. (3) Information seeking about mammography was the strongest predictor of using mammography during the eight-month follow-up period of middle-aged women who had not undergone any mammography testing.
