Abstract

This review examines findings on the relationship between personality and breast cancer screening behaviors. Because the literature is limited, data from the University of North Carolina Alumni Heart Study (UNCAHS) are presented showing the associations between personality measured by the NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI) and mammography and breast self-examination.
