A sample of family physicians was randomly selected from the membership database of the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC). Potential respondents were mailed a survey questionnaire, and a modified Dillman approach was utilized. A total of 964 completed questionnaires were received, providing a response rate of 50.1%. Although most family physicians were aware of many basic facts about prostate cancer, there were knowledge limitations related to risk factors, relative frequency of the disease (to other cancers), and selected aspects of PSA effectiveness. There was considerable variation in perceived effectiveness of early detection methods, with most physicians taking a conservative approach to PSA utilization. Most family physicians indicated that they have an important role to play in the care of men after they have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. They also expressed a high level of interest in obtaining additional information related to prostate cancer.
从加拿大家庭医生学院（CFPC）的会员数据库中随机抽取了一组家庭医生样本。向潜在受访者邮寄了调查问卷，并采用了改良的迪尔曼方法。共收到964份完整问卷，回复率为50.1%。尽管大多数家庭医生了解许多关于前列腺癌的基本事实，但在风险因素、该疾病（与其他癌症相比）的相对发病率以及前列腺特异性抗原（PSA）有效性的某些方面仍存在知识局限。早期检测方法的感知有效性存在相当大的差异，大多数医生对PSA的使用采取保守态度。大多数家庭医生表示，在男性被诊断出患有前列腺癌后，他们在其护理中发挥着重要作用。他们还表达了对获取更多与前列腺癌相关信息的高度兴趣。
