Answer to Question 1

Latina women are less likely than others to see themselves as susceptible to breast cancer, but are less likely to see breast cancer as treatable. Latina women are more likely to have barriers in receiving healthcare in the later stages of pregnancy due to embarrassment with the physical examination, long waiting times for the doctor and poor patient-practitioner interactions. Korean American women seeking cervical cancer screenings report embarrassment as a barrier. Native American women were found to be reluctant to talk openly about their personal health.

Answer to Question 2

Genes, physiology, age, gender, fitness, and weight.
