What is Design and psychometric evaluation of the breast cancer screening behaviors scale based on the health action model (HAM) about?
## Abstract ## Background Breast cancer is known as the most common cancer and the first-rank malignancy among women. Screening plays a crucial role in early diagnosis and timely treatment. This paper presents the results of design, evaluation and analysis of a questionnaire based on the health action model to investigate breast cancer screening behaviors and their relevant factors. ## Methods The study is based on using a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches for optimal design and development of research tools.

Psychometric properties of the research tool were investigated through literature review. The research population consisted of 210 30–69 years old females based in Kashan who were selected through simple random sampling. The relative and content validity indexes were calculated to judge the content of the tool. Also, the confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the construct validity. Additionally, intra-class correlation coefficient and Cornbrash’s alp
