The objective of the present study is to capture the prostate cancer screening intention, knowledge levels, attitudes, and reasons for participation in screening among African American men. African American men aged from 35 to 65 in Georgia, North Carolina, and Ohio were recruited for study (N = 168). Questionnaires were administered using validated instruments. Findings suggest critical needs for community-based social workers to communicate the importance of prostate cancer screening and risk factors among African American men. Increasing the use of culturally relevant community health education might benefit underserved minority men at risk of having prostate cancer.
本研究旨在了解非洲裔美国男性的前列腺癌筛查意愿、知识水平、态度和参与筛查的原因。在佐治亚州、北卡罗来纳州和俄亥俄州，研究招募了年龄在 35 岁至 65 岁之间的非洲裔美国男性（N=168）。研究使用了经过验证的工具进行问卷调查。研究结果表明，社区工作者在沟通前列腺癌筛查的重要性和风险因素方面存在迫切需求，而这些工作对于非洲裔美国男性至关重要。增加使用文化相关的社区健康教育可能会使处于前列腺癌风险中的服务不足的少数族裔男性受益。
