To explore knowledge and attitudes about colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among African American patients age 45 and older at a community health center serving low-income and uninsured patients.
We conducted 7 focus groups and 17 additional semistructured interviews. Sessions were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using standard text analysis.
Most participants who were age eligible for CRC screening were nonadherent according to national guidelines. Themes included low CRC knowledge, low perceived norms, high barriers, and other screening beliefs.
Lack of knowledge, low perceived risk, and attitudes about CRC screening may be important targets for interventions in low-income African American patients.
在一家为低收入和未参保患者服务的社区健康中心,探索45岁及以上非裔美国患者对结直肠癌(CRC)筛查的知识和态度。
我们开展了7个焦点小组讨论和另外17次半结构式访谈。会议进行了录音、转录,并使用标准文本分析方法进行分析。
根据国家指南,大多数符合CRC筛查年龄条件的参与者未坚持筛查。主题包括CRC知识水平低、感知规范低、障碍高以及其他筛查观念。
知识缺乏、感知风险低以及对CRC筛查的态度可能是低收入非裔美国患者干预措施的重要目标。
