The study will focus on the perceptions and decisions about breast screening among Northern Ontario Aboriginal women and will record the knowledge, understanding, beliefs and attitudes about breast cancer held by women in the age groups of highest risk. Ten of the 32 remote communities that have had access to mammograms through the Ontario Breast Screening Program every two years will participate in the study.
