Does retirement affect secondary preventive care use? Evidence from breast cancer screening
2021, Economics and Human BiologyCitation Excerpt :Social networks can influence individuals’ behavior by circulating information on the effectiveness of recommended health behavior (Berkman and Glass, 2000). Knowledge about breast cancer screening has been shown to be a key determinant of mammography utilization (Dündar et al., 2006; Ferrat et al., 2013; Grunfeld et al., 2002; Lagerlund et al., 2000; Rakhshkhorshid et al., 2018). In addition, evidence shows that social network measured as the number of contacts with family and friends as well as emotional social support (i.e., having someone to discuss personal concerns with) have a positive influence on mammography participation (Jensen et al., 2015).

2020, Applied Soft Computing JournalA Systematic Review of Women's Knowledge of Screening Mammography
2018, BreastCitation Excerpt :In the six studies reporting frequencies, one to 83% of women were ‘adequately’ knowledgeable; however, the majority of studies (n = 4) reported figures below 50%. Six studies reported associations with increased knowledge; these were women who were considered to have a higher education (Baena-Cañada et al., 2014; [19,37,41], defined as non-immigrant women [37], were attenders of screening [63], employed, unemployed, or retired compared to women defined as homemakers [6] and those aged 50–59 compared to under 50 [77]. The aim of this study was to understand women's knowledge of screening mammography to inform strategies to improve communication and informed consent.
