This article describes the development of a spiritually based intervention to increase informed decision making for prostate cancer screening through African American churches. The intervention used spiritually themed health messages, incorporated women as supportive health partners, and included a health information technology component. The Men's Prostate Awareness Church Training Project followed a community-based participatory research process to develop educational materials, and training for 40 community health advisors to implement the 4-part prostate health workshop series that will be implemented in 20 churches. Implications are discussed for designing culturally relevant interventions to reduce prostate cancer disparities impacting African American men.
本文描述了一项基于精神信仰的干预措施的发展，旨在通过非裔美国教堂增加前列腺癌筛查的知情决策。该干预措施使用了以精神信仰为主题的健康信息，将女性纳入支持性健康伙伴，并包含了健康信息技术组件。“男性前列腺意识教会培训项目”遵循基于社区的参与式研究过程，开发教育材料，并培训 40 名社区健康顾问，以实施将在 20 间教堂实施的 4 部分前列腺健康工作坊系列。本文讨论了设计具有文化相关性的干预措施的意义，以减少影响非裔美国男性的前列腺癌差异。
