Two subscales for a breast cancer knowledge test were developed and tested to be used (a) in determining a woman's general knowledge of breast cancer (i.e. risk factors and epidemiology) and her knowledge of breast cancer curability, and (b) in exploring the relationship between knowledge of breast cancer and utilization of screening practices. These subscales were designed to be used in conjun...
