of model-based interventions for breast cancer screening behavior of women. Methods: We searched Scopus, PubMed,
Web of Science, Science Direct, Cochrane library and Google scholar search engines for systematic reviews, clinical
trials, pre- and post-test or quasi-experimental studies (with limits to publication dates from 2000-2017), Keywords
were: breast cancer, screening, systematic review, trials, and health model. In this review, qualitative analysis was
used to assess the heterogeneity of data. Results: Thirty six articles with 17,770 female participants were included in
this review. The Health belief model was used in twenty three articles as the basis for intervention. Two articles used
