We implemented a home-based group educational intervention in the form of home health parties (HHPs) among Hispanic men and women in the Lower Yakima Valley of Washington State led by trained bilingual and compared participants' baseline and follow-up responses to questions related to communications about CRC screening. We also documented participants perceptions of the CRC related educational information presented as measures of effectiveness of the HHPs as well as possible indicators of their intentions to engage in timely CRC screenings. The group based educational sessions resulted in positive participants' perceptions about the benefits of the CRC related information and in improved communications about CRC screening. Results suggest the benefits of utilizing ' cultural knowledge and awareness to present content about cancers such as CRC in ways that are easily understandable to Hispanic participants and that could result in improved communications and action about cancer screenings.
我们在华盛顿州下亚基马山谷的西班牙裔男性和女性中开展了一项以家庭健康派对（HHPs）形式进行的居家小组教育干预活动，由经过培训的双语人员牵头，并比较了参与者对与结直肠癌筛查沟通相关问题的基线和随访回答。我们还记录了参与者对所呈现的结直肠癌相关教育信息的看法，以此作为家庭健康派对有效性的衡量标准以及他们及时进行结直肠癌筛查意图的可能指标。基于小组的教育课程使参与者对结直肠癌相关信息的益处产生了积极看法，并改善了关于结直肠癌筛查的沟通。结果表明，利用文化知识和意识以西班牙裔参与者易于理解的方式呈现诸如结直肠癌等癌症相关内容，可能会改善关于癌症筛查的沟通和行动。
