Health numeracy is associated with increased understanding of cancer risk reduction information and improved control of chronic disease. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among a primary care population to evaluate the effect of health numeracy on breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening. No association was found between health numeracy and cancer screening. However, at a baseline screening rate of 85%, increased knowledge (RR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02-1.08) and decreased perceived barriers (RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.92-0.95) were associated with increased screening rates. In conclusion, health numeracy was not predictive of cancer screening among a primary care population.
健康数字素养与对降低癌症风险信息的理解增加以及慢性病控制的改善相关。在初级保健人群中进行了一项横断面调查,以评估健康数字素养对乳腺癌、宫颈癌和结直肠癌筛查的影响。未发现健康数字素养与癌症筛查之间存在关联。然而,在基线筛查率为85%的情况下,知识增加(相对风险1.06,95%置信区间1.02 - 1.08)和感知障碍减少(相对风险0.93,95%置信区间0.92 - 0.95)与筛查率增加相关。总之,在初级保健人群中,健康数字素养不能预测癌症筛查情况。
