Culturally Tailored Intervention to Promote Mammography Screening Practice Among Chinese American Women: a Systematic Review

Journal of Cancer Education Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Our review aimed to assess the effectiveness of culturally tailored intervention in mammography practice for Chinese American women. We searched the entire paper published by the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Web of Science from inception to 17 October 2019. Moreover, we manually checked reference lists of included studies to find other potentially eligible studies. It included clinical trials published in English that evaluated the effects of culturally tailored intervention on mammography practice for Chinese American women. Finally, we involved eight studies in our review. After the intervention, the mammography intention and breast cancer–related knowledge were significantly improved. However, there was no significant impact on mammography completion rate, perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and Eastern cultural views of Chinese American women. The culturally tailored interventions could serve as promising approaches to improve mammography screening practice for Chinese American women, but further improvements are needed.
