Saint-Germain, Michelle A.; Longman, Alice J.
Health Education Quarterly, v20 n4 p539-53 Win 1993
Data from 409 Hispanic-American and 138 Anglo older women in Tucson identified few differences in their use of breast cancer screening and low levels of risk knowledge. Both groups fell well below recommended frequency of screening. Clinical examination and self-examination were used more than mammography. (SK)
