We describe the characteristics of individuals being screened in community settings including factors influencing screening decisions and the level of information sought prior to screening. Individuals from two community-based radiology clinics ( = 27) were surveyed after screening. Screening efficacy and salience were the most important factors in screening decisions, whereas healthcare provider recommendations were rated not important. Half of participants reported no or little conversation about screening with their primary care provider, and 61.5 percent had not sought any information on screening. Individuals being screened in a community setting are unlikely to have sufficient information for an informed decision about screening.
我们描述了在社区环境中接受筛查的个体的特征，包括影响筛查决策的因素以及筛查前寻求的信息水平。来自两家社区放射诊所（n = 27）的个体在接受筛查后接受了调查。筛查效果和显著性是筛查决策中最重要的因素，而医疗服务提供者的建议被评为不重要。一半的参与者表示与他们的初级保健提供者没有或很少谈论筛查，61.5%的人没有寻求任何关于筛查的信息。在社区环境中接受筛查的个体不太可能有足够的信息来做出关于筛查的明智决定。
