The Relationship of Health Beliefs on the Stage of Mammography Behavior Adoption amongst Women in Kuantan, Pahang.

CONCLUSION: Women in<br />the action stage are more likely to progress towards maintenance stage as they perceived breast cancer as a disease that<br />leads to death and that mammogram screening is beneficial in detecting the disease at an early stage. However, women<br />in the pre-contemplation, relapse and contemplation stage are found unlikely to move towards the maintenance stage<br />as they perceived their risk of getting breast cancer is low.
