Classification based on the model was supported both by the decisional balance scale and measures of knowledge. Women in earlier stages of the model were more likely to express preferences for the provision of services in their own language and by a female. Cervical cancer screening among women in Action and Maintenance appeared to be better supported by GPs. Cervical cancer screening promotion for women of diverse cultures and ethnicities has tended to focus on Pre-contemplation and Contemplation stages, however, as most women in this sample were in Action or Maintenance, as are most Australian-born women, structuring cervical cancer screening promotion in terms of the TTM may significantly improve the effectiveness of interventions for women of diverse cultures and ethnicities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
