Early detection through mammography is crucial as it increases treatment options and saves lives; however, many studies described the lower breast cancer screening rates in Asian American women compared to other population in America. The purpose of this review was to synthesize literature on how awareness of and attitudes toward breast cancer screening influence the rate of breast cancer screening in Korean American women in the U.S. The analysis of the reviewed literature focused on the influence that awareness of and attitudes toward breast cancer screening have on the rate of breast cancer screening in Korean American women by reviewing 16 studies in the U.S.A. This study shown the lower breast cancer screening rates in Korean American women in the U.S.A. Specifically, diverse variables such as sociodemographic factors, level of acculturation, health beliefs, and cultural beliefs had a statistically significant association with the utilization of breast cancer screening. In addition, knowledge towards breast cancer screening found the notable factor to affect obtaining breast cancer screening as a strong predictor. Furthermore, education had a significantly positive correlation with breast cancer screening behavior. From the findings of these studies, implementing multifaceted approach using appropriate educational programs based on cultural sensitivity is essential to decrease barriers and improve the awareness of the importance of mammogram screening.
