Abstract B73: Do generational cohort differences in social networks influence persistent and sporadic screeners' perceptions of breast cancer screening?
Conclusions: Screeners with younger social networks may in part be influenced to be sporadic screeners because they do not benefit from exposure to more mature and experienced individuals in their social networks. The excess of younger generation members in sporadic screeners' networks may expose them generally to people who do not screen (or have limited screening experience) due to age. This exposure would confirm for them that reservation women generally do not favor screening and would explain their mixed view of friends' screening behavior. The younger membership of sporadic screeners' networks also may explain why th...

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. Nicometo, Corinna Sabaque. Do demographic characteristics and theoretical mediators of health behavior differ...

Abstract B80: Perceived control over health and history of mammography screening in Hispanic/Latino women living in the Northeast United States
Conclusions: Low to moderate versus high levels of perceived control over health contribute to lower levels of mammography screening according to guidelines. Identifying ways to address perceived control over health will be critical to increasing mammography screening adherence in this under-resourced population.Citation Format: Beth A. Jones, Lianne Epstein, Inginia Genao, Marcella Nunez-Smith, Hosanna Soler Vila, Elizabeth Claus, Susan Nappi.

Abstract C94: Knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors surrounding breast cancer among Amish women: A 10-year review
The purpose of the study was to explore knowledge, beliefs and behaviors surrounding breast cancer among Amish women and to explore the impact of a breast cancer intervention over time.

Home to the world's largest Amish settlement, Ohio also houses dozens of Amish and Mennonite communities found most often in the rural and Appalachian sections of the state where access to cancer education and care is severely limited by transportation, tran...
