Risk perception regarding social determinants of health among women with breast cancer in Iran: a qualitative study
Participants identified a number of environmental, personal and cultural factors as contributing to the disease. Woman's screening behaviours were influenced by factors such as fear of disease and death, disbelief in getting sick and shame, depending on cultural context. The study suggests the need for further research to explore the impact of these factors on screening behaviours and outcomes in different cultural contexts.
