Despite a considerable body of research about BC in Arab countries, how illness perceptions of healthy women about BC may influence risk perception is unknown.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a sample of 298 young Emirati women. The measures included demographic information, illness perceptions, and risk perception. Descriptive and correlational analyses were performed to assess illness perceptions about BC, perceived individual risk and comparative risk. A structural equation modelling (S.E.M.) was built to investigate the relationship between illness perceptions and perceived individual risk.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Participants reported negative illness perceptions about BC The individual risk perception and the compared risk perception for BC were low. Participants with a family history of BC reported more negative illness and higher risk perceptions. The relationship between illness perceptions and perceived individual risk was significant and mediated by compared risk. The S.E.M. explained 55.9% of the variance in predicting perceived individual risk for BC.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Women's views of BC are important factors in risk perception and may provide culturally sensitive clues to promote early screening for BC in Arab countries. This may be important for policymakers to design intervention strategies to lower health risks, considering the different ways in which women perceive their risks for BC.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12905-022-01771-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]],"date-time":"2022-05-25T11:03:04Z","timestamp":1653476584000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Understanding the relationship between illness perceptions of breast cancer and perceived risk in a sample of U.A.E. female university students: the role of comparative risk"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Maria J.","family":"Figueiras","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"David Dias","family":"Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Mar\u00f4co","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"1771_CR1","first-page":"1","volume":"2019","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2020","unstructured":"World Health Organization. cancer country profile UAE.
