TI  - Cancer knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices (KABP) of disadvantaged women 
      in the South Bronx.
PG  - 142-9
AB  - BACKGROUND: This study assessed cancer knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and 
      practices (KABP) among 1,280 African American and Hispanic women. METHODS: A 
      written self-report KABP survey was administered. RESULTS: Most women reported 
      using breast self-examination (BSE), clinical breast examination (CBE), and 
      mammography, but only 66% had had Pap tests in the preceding year. Group 
      comparisons revealed significant differences for cancer and disease beliefs 
      between the Black and the Hispanic women. Less knowledge about screening 
      significantly predicted underutilization of Pap testing (OR = 2.71, CI 2.02, 
      3.63), BSE (OR = 1.63, CI 1.63, 2.13), and CBE (OR = 1.66, CI 1.27, 2.18). 
      CONCLUSIONS: KABP surveys were important in developing cancer interventions.
