Purpose: This study examined breast cancer screening practice and health promoting behaviors and the predicting factors of breast cancer screening practice in Chinese women. Methods: A correlational research design was used to recruit a convenience sample of 770 women living in four cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Xi’an) in China.

Results: The participants were mostly 36−55 years old (51.3%), married (86.8%), premenopause (77.7%), had children (83.4%), and breastfed (73%).
