From the Paper:
"The title of the article accurately reflects the content of the article and the research study. The introduction appropriately summarizes the article and explains it with supportive background information. The authors state the importance of the problem by persuading the readers that breast cancer continues to present a public-health concern and that the use of secondary prevention in the form of screening mammography should be further studied. The theoretical framework in this research relies on both a psychological and public-health approach, since breast cancer risk perception is a subjective judgment made on an individual level."The objective of the research article, as stated in the introduction, is to determine the strength of the relationship between a family history of breast cancer and other cancers--with the higherperceived risk of developing cancer and the increased chance of repeat mammography. Breast cancer is a public-health concern, because one in every eight women is diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime. Therefore, a research study on this topic is significant tothe female population, because breast cancer risk perception and repeat mammography can reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with breast cancer. The critical argument in this article is that a family history of breast cancer is the risk factor on which women base their own perception of risk."
