Health Beliefs on the Behavioral Adoption of Mammography Screening Moderated by Knowledge and Marital Status: A Path Analytic Model

Despite the effectiveness of mammography for early breast cancer detection, its’ utilization among Malaysian women
remains low. Health beliefs are closely related to health screening behavior. Hence, it is important that health beliefs
are employed when exploring mammography screening behavior. Thus, the study utilized HBM constructs in predicting the variance in adoptive behavior of mammography. A multi-stage, stratified random sampling method was utilized to select the polyclinics in Kuantan, Pahang. Using sample size calculation at 5% type 1 error, p < 0.05 and absolute error at 2%, 520 Malaysian women aged 35 to 70 years were randomly selected. Sets of copyrighted, validated questionnaire were used to obtain the data. Structural equation modeling using Mplus was used to test the model. All health beliefs were found to significantly influence the behavioral adoption of mammography screening. Socio-demographic factors (married women) were found to moderate significantly the relationship between perceived susceptibility and behavioral adoption of mammography.
