Topics and Sources of Memorable Breast Cancer Messages and Their Impact on Prevention and Detection Behaviors

Knowing the topics and sources of the messages that are remembered about breast cancer can improve the efficacy of future breast cancer outreach. To this end, 359 women completed an online survey about memorable breast cancer messages. Most women (60%) recalled a memorable message, described it… Show more

“…These messages aid receivers in processes of meaning-making by guiding them in making sense out of contexts, understanding situations, and selecting appropriate courses of action. Memorable messages have been examined in several contexts, including organizational socialization (Barge & Schlueter, 2004;Stohl, 1986), higher education (Dallimore, 2003), aging (Holladay, 2002), athletic performance (Kassing & Pappas, 2007), final conversations (Keeley, 2004), breast cancer prevention and detection (Smith et al, 2009), and work-family balance (Medved, Brogan, McClanahan, Morris, & Shepherd, 2006). 626 N. Miczo et al Early research by Knapp and associates (Knapp et al, 1981;Stohl, 1986) delineated five characteristics of memorable messages that have been unevenly supported by subsequent research.…”

“…Given such criteria, a memorable messages framework (Knapp, Stohl, & Reardon, 1981) is an appropriate lens through which to examine the impact of flu-related health messages on health behavior. Research has established that memorable messages are relevant to chronic health conditions (e.g., breast cancer; Smith et al, 2009), but are they also viable for acute diseases, such as the H1N1 flu? H1N1 provides a unique opportunity to examine the initial stages of a concerted effort to create memorable messages about flu-prevention behaviors, many of which also protect against a variety of acute conditions.…”

“…As memorable messages have been shown to guide sense-making (Stohl, 1986), behavior (Smith et al, 2009) and self-assessment of behavior (Ellis & Smith, 2004;, they should help people deal with and overcome challenges in college. Additionally, these challenges could serve as input functions that begin the negative feedback loop, according to control theory.…”

However, cultural expectations, media representations, and the commercialization of breast cancer can be deceiving, often leaving out vital information related to types of cancer, treatment options, long-term recovery, and quality of life.…”
