This article reviews studies of the efficacy of breast-screening interventions and their related theories that have had a positive effect in influencing women to use mammography and assesses the potential of various behavioral models for use with American Indian women. The study involved a search of literature in nursing and other health fields. Both communityand practice-based interventions have incorporated elements of various theoretical models. Because of its adaptability, the modified health behavior model appears most relevant for designing interventions to encourage mammography use among American Indian women.

Key Words: American Indian women • breast-screening behavior • theories
