“…For example, as reported in the study by Wang et al (2009) Chinese women were less interested in going for a mammography because the traditional method of cancer prevention promotes maintaining a balanced diet, using herbs, and exercising as the best approach (Wang et al, 2009). Likewise, diversity in individual and sociocultural environment such as cultural affiliation (Yu and Wu, 2005), lack of health services (Yu and Wu, 2005;Gomez et al, 2007;Gao et al, 2012), low perceived awareness (Yu and Wu, 2005;Gomez et al, 2007;Lee-Lin et al, 2007), or low educational level (Lee-Lin et al, 2007), fatalistic attitude (Charkazi et al, 2013), and low perceived risk of breast cancer (Kim et al, 2011) were found to affect the attendance on screenings.
