Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Breast cancer messages focused on early adoption of preventative actions provide a fruitful avenue to decrease the number of females who will be diagnosed with breast cancer later in life. The current pilot study used a 2 (message source) x 3 (message concept) design to expose women (N=59) to one of three message concepts (e.g., understanding normal mammary gland development, limiting exposure to chemicals, & adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors) with a physician or a researcher as its source. Women then completed a post-test survey designed to assess message and source perceptions, knowledge, attitude, behavioral intentions, and demographic information. Results from regression analyses indicate that direct appeals to mothers with daughters increase behavioral intentions to seek more information about breast cancer prevention and communication with family members and doctors. Implications of these preliminary results for further message construction designed to target mothers are discussed.
