Abstract:
|
Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics on breast cancer diagnosis and lifestyle choices, we estimate how being diagnosed influences smoking, drinking, and exercising habits for more than 8000 women over the period 1999 to 2011. Controlling for unobserved heterogeneity, persistence in potentially addictive behaviors, and correlation across behaviors, we find that the impact of a diagnosis has a different effect on smoking,
drinking, and exercising behavior. Furthermore, the impact depends upon the recency of the diagnosis. Recently diagnosed women exercise and smoke less but do not change their drinking habits relative to healthy women. Our approach provides insight into what
extent women who are faced with negative information about life expectancy take this into
consideration when deciding to engage in risky behaviors that might further affect their
survival in a significant way.
