TL;DR
Regression analysis indicated that perceived advantages of HRT and perceived social support for using HRT were significantly associated with intentions to utilise or to continue to utilising therapy and explained 46% of the variance in these intentions.
Abstract
Findings suggest that the importance of perceived health benefits of HRT and perceived social support for HRT may be substantially underestimated, and that the importance of perceived negative side effects of HRT may be substantially overestimated, in understanding women's HRT decision making and in counselling women about initiation or maintenance of therapy.
