| Abstract | Background: The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians recommends that breast health should be taught during the teen years. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe the process of developing a revision of the Champion's Health Belief Model Scale (CHBMS), appropriate for adolescent females, which measures knowledge and beliefs about breast cancer and BSE. Methods: This study employed the use of focus groups, an expert panel, and a pilot study to develop the "Breast Health Knowledge Test" and the "Breast Health Beliefs Survey". Data analysis included descriptive statistics, test-retest reliability, and internal consistency of the instrumentation scales. Results: Results suggest that both of the instruments were valid and reliable. Discussion: Further research should be conducted on the female adolescent population to better understand their knowledge and beliefs on this topic. Translation to Health Education Practice: Health educators can design tailored interventions once adolescent knowledge and beliefs have been assessed using these instruments. (As Provided). |
