The goal of this pilot study was to assess the feasibility of training barbers to deliver a brief culturally and literacy appropriate prostate cancer educational intervention to urban African American men. Eight barbers received training to deliver a 2-month educational intervention in the barbershop and completed pre- and posttest training assessments. The training workshops led to a significant increase in mean prostate cancer knowledge scores among the barbers (60% before vs. 79% after; P < 0.05). The barbers also reported positively on the intervention in terms of satisfaction and relative ease of engaging clients. Training barbers to deliver a prostate cancer educational intervention is a feasible strategy for raising prostate cancer awareness of the disease among a priority population.
这项试点研究的目的是评估培训理发师向城市非裔美国男性提供简短的、适合其文化水平和读写能力的前列腺癌教育干预措施的可行性。八名理发师接受了培训，以便在理发店开展为期两个月的教育干预，并完成了培训前和培训后的评估。培训工作坊使理发师的平均前列腺癌知识得分显著提高（之前为60%，之后为79%；P < 0.05）。理发师们还对该干预措施在满意度和与客户沟通的相对便利性方面给予了积极评价。培训理发师提供前列腺癌教育干预是提高重点人群对前列腺癌疾病认识的一种可行策略。
