Factors influencing intention to participate in breast cancer screening.

All variables are presented in an excel sheet (xlxs).

The objective of this study is to analyze whether women's level of knowledge about the benefits and harms of screening, their time perspective and their concern about breast cancer providing detailed information on the benefits and adverse effects of breast cancer screening affects, directly or indirectly, affects the intention to participate in it.

The database includes variables that allow us to construct the outcome of informed choice, a variable that combines knowledge, attitudes and intentions. Other variables that reflect women's perceptions of how their decision to participate, or not, in screening affects them, now or in the future, are also collected: decisional conflict; anxiety about screening participation; concern about breast cancer; anticipated regret; time perspective; perceived importance of the benefits/harms of screening.
