Interventions for colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention among black adults are needed. Connections between CRC screening non-adherence and other health risk behaviors may inform intervention development.
Associations between red meat (RM) and fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption, at-risk alcohol use, and CRC ever-screening were examined using adjusted logistic regressions among 520 church-going black adults in Houston, Texas, aged >50.
In the final adjusted model, being younger, uninsured, eating more RM and engaging in at-risk alcohol use were associated with lower likelihood of CRC ever-screening.
Church-based interventions to increase CRC screening among black adults might capitalize on associations with RM consumption and alcohol use behaviors as part of a broader wellness promotion initiative.
需要针对成年黑人开展预防结直肠癌（CRC）的干预措施。CRC筛查不依从与其他健康风险行为之间的关联可为干预措施的制定提供参考。
在得克萨斯州休斯顿市520名年龄大于50岁、常去教堂的成年黑人中，采用校正逻辑回归分析红肉（RM）和水果及蔬菜（FV）摄入量、危险饮酒与是否曾接受CRC筛查之间的关联。
在最终校正模型中，年龄较小、未参保、食用较多RM以及危险饮酒与曾接受CRC筛查的可能性较低相关。
基于教堂的干预措施，旨在提高成年黑人的CRC筛查率，可利用与RM消费和饮酒行为的关联，作为更广泛的健康促进倡议的一部分。
