To Receive

This article is concerned with the reasons why sometimes good arguments in health communication leaflets fail to convince the targeted audience. As an illustrative example it uses the age-dependent eligibility of women in the Netherlands to receive routine breast cancer screening examinations: according to Dutch regulations women under 50 are ineligible for them. The present qualitative study rests on and complements three experimental studies on the persuasiveness of mammography information leaflets; it uses interviews to elucidate reasons why the arguments in the health communication leaflets for the exclusion of women under 50 from routine mammographic screenings do not work.

Screening Behaviors

Breast cancer is the most common cause of premature mortality among women, and screening is one of the most important means of early diagnosis of breast cancer. This qualitative study was conducted to explore strategies for promoting breast cancer screening behaviors from the perspective of health volunteers in south-east Iran. Data collection was performed through focus groups. Using the purposive sampling method, 35 participants were selected and data were analyzed using a specific qualitative content analysis framework. By analyzing the data to provide strategies for promoting breast cancer screening behaviors, the main theme of “organizational transformation” with five subthemes including the promotion of health-centered beliefs in society, the development of culture-based training, the media revolution, financial support, and the provision of efficient health-care providers were extracted. According to the results of the study, the development of organizational transformation plays an important role in planning for the promotion of breast cancer screening.
