abstract: 'The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between

  theoretically identified variables and participation in mammography

  screening in a university workplace. A sample of 1093 women 50 and over

  returned a questionnaire following the offer of a free workplace breast

  cancer screening. Anderson''s Behavioral Model of Health Services Use

  identified factors predisposing and enabling women to have mammograms.

  Predisposing variables included attitudes and experience related to

  mammography. Enabling variables included income, willingness to pay for

  mammography, health insurance coverage, and regular source of health

  care. Comparisons were made among: (i) those who were screened in the

  workplace, (ii) those who were screened elsewhere, and (iii) those who

  were not screened. Differences in perceived barriers, perceived

  benefits, practice of breast self-examination (BSE), and education

  surfaced. Results indicated, among other things, that women who were

  older, had no more than 12 years of education, had a family member with

  breast cancer, and were proficient with breast self-examination were

  more likely to have participated in the university work-site screening.'
