Race and the validity of self-reported cancer screening behaviors: Development of a conceptual model
2009, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :One problem was that we were unable to examine the extent to which factors associated with race/ethnicity (e.g., health literacy, education, English-language proficiency) contributed to differences in the validity. It is likely that there may be fewer racial/ethnic differences in studies in which all ethnic/racial groups were similarly disadvantaged (McPhee et al., 2002) compared to studies in which the minority groups were more disadvantaged than the white groups (e.g., Lawrence et al., 1999). There is evidence that, for certain ethnic minority groups, relatively more errors may occur during comprehension/interpretation, memory retrieval, and judgment formation.
Validity of self-reported mammography in a multicultural population in Israel
2008, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :In general, women were accurate in reporting whether or not they had a mammogram, but they often underestimated the time since their last mammogram (Zapka et al., 1996; Etzi et al., 1994; Paskett et al., 1996). Valid reporting of mammography has been shown in some studies to be associated with age, ethnicity, education, employment, family history of breast cancer and history of mammography performance (Hiatt et al., 1995; Suarez et al., 1995; Zapka et al., 1996; Warnecke et al., 1997; Lawrence et al., 1999; Caplan et al., 2003a,b). However, other studies have not found these associations (Suarez et al., 1995; Zapka et al., 1996; Caplan et al., 2003a).
Tailored interventions to promote mammography screening: A meta-analytic review
2007, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :Studies found that over 90% of women accurately reported their mammography screening in the past 12 months as validated by medical records (Barratt et al., 2000; King et al., 1990). However, this consistency is less evident in older age groups, low-income households, different ethnicities, or participants with co-morbid conditions (Bancej et al., 2004; Champion et al., 1998; Lawrence et al., 1999). Conversely, medical records may not be up-to-date, making this measure less accurate (Jibaja-Weiss et al., 2003).
