To examine the association between social capital and adherence to cancer screening exams.
Data from a population-based survey assessed perceived neighborhood social capital as well as cancer screening behavior. We analyzed the influence of social capital on adherence to screening guidelines for cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer.
Data from 2668 adults documented that those with greater perceived neighborhood social capital were more likely to be screened for cancer. The effect was strongest for colorectal cancer and weakest for cervical cancer.
Research on understanding the effect of the neighborhood social environment on efforts related to cancer screening behavior may be helpful for increasing cancer screening rates.
探讨社会资本与癌症筛查检查依从性之间的关联。
基于人群的调查数据评估了邻里社会资本感知以及癌症筛查行为。我们分析了社会资本对宫颈癌、乳腺癌和结直肠癌筛查指南依从性的影响。
2668名成年人的数据表明，邻里社会资本感知较高的人更有可能接受癌症筛查。这种影响在结直肠癌中最强，在宫颈癌中最弱。
研究邻里社会环境对癌症筛查行为相关努力的影响可能有助于提高癌症筛查率。
