Abstract
As our world becomes more diverse, research that focuses on more than the traditional subject, the Anglo male, is needed. Researchers must expand their focuses to include women and different cultures. That realization prompted this investigation, an attempt to determine the relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy toward cancer screening among Mexican- American women.
The problem of the study was to determine if a relationship exists between knowledge and self-efficacy in the setting of cancer screenings among Mexican-American women. Specifically, the study sought to answer the following research questions concerning knowledge and self-efficacy toward cancer in general, Pap smears, colorectal examinations, and breast self examinations (BSE's):
1. What is the relationship between knowledge variables?
2. What is the relationship between self-efficacy variables?
3. What is the relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy variables?
