Abstract

The purpose of this correlational study was to measure structural obstacles to a free prostate cancer screening. The sample consisted of 549 men, 69% who were African-American. The men attended a prostate cancer educational program and were offered free prostate cancer screening at their physician of choice. Structural obstacles that were predictors in screening participation were "making an appointment" (p = 0.02), "planning for an appointment" (p = 0.05), and "reminders of prostate cancer screening" (p = 0.02). The demographic variables of race and marital status were also predictors of screening participation. Implications for health education are given.

摘要

这项相关性研究的目的是衡量免费前列腺癌筛查的结构性障碍。样本包括549名男性，其中69%为非裔美国人。这些男性参加了前列腺癌教育项目，并在他们选择的医生处接受免费前列腺癌筛查。在筛查参与度方面具有预测作用的结构性障碍包括“预约”（p = 0.02）、“为预约做计划”（p = 0.05）以及“前列腺癌筛查提醒”（p = 0.02）。种族和婚姻状况等人口统计学变量也是筛查参与度的预测因素。文中给出了对健康教育的启示。
