Abstract B98: Do demographic characteristics and theoretical mediators of health behavior differentiate American Indian adherent mammographic screeners from non-adherent screeners?

Conclusions: No single theoretical model appears to differentiate adherent from non-adherent screeners, but mediators associated with each of the various models do differentiate these screeners. These differentiating mediators should be considered for how they might guide development of interventions to improve screening behavior. The self-report nature of the survey demands that results be considered as tentative and limited, in any case, to the respondents of this tribe.Citation Format: Wesley O. Petersen, Ann M.
