Strategies to support cancer information-seeking among Hispanics are needed.
We analyzed data from the 2005 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) to explore cancer information-seeking experiences among respondents according to ethnicity and language of interview.
Over 80% of Spanish-speaking Hispanics had never looked for cancer information. Compared to English-speaking respondents, Spanish-speaking Hispanics who sought cancer information indicated their search took a lot of effort (67%), was hard to understand (54%), and frustrating (42%). Spanish-speaking Hispanics noted minimal confidence in obtaining cancer information.
Language and cultural differences must be considered in the design, implementation, and dissemination of cancer information.
需要制定策略来支持西班牙裔人群获取癌症信息。
我们分析了2005年健康信息国家趋势调查(HINTS)的数据,以根据受访者的种族和访谈语言来探索他们获取癌症信息的经历。
超过80%讲西班牙语的西班牙裔人群从未寻找过癌症信息。与讲英语的受访者相比,寻求癌症信息的讲西班牙语的西班牙裔人群表示,他们的搜索很费劲(67%)、难以理解(54%)且令人沮丧(42%)。讲西班牙语的西班牙裔人群表示在获取癌症信息方面信心不足。
在癌症信息的设计、实施和传播中必须考虑语言和文化差异。
