A telephone survey of knowledge, attitude, and health practices regarding cancer was undertaken in wards 7 and 8, Washington, DC in 1988. These wards have the highest cancer rates in the city and are predominantly African American. Of the 670 randomly selected persons over 18 years of age, 243 were males and 427 were females. Among females, 84% believed cigarette smoking causes cancer, and 48% thought alcohol causes cancer; 31% smoked cigarettes and 38% consumed alcoholic beverages. Among males, 91% and 52% thought cigarettes and alcohol causes cancer respectively; 41% smoked and 54% consumed alcoholic beverages. Only 6% of the males over age 40 practiced all eight recommended cancer prevention behaviors, while 2% of the females over age 40 practiced all preventive health behaviors. Cancer preventive behavior was examined in relation to socioeconomic status. This study indicates that preventive health behaviors were not associated with socioeconomic status. Data suggest that cancer prevention and control programs and services targeted to this Washington, DC population should be increased and intensified.
1988年，在华盛顿特区的第7和第8区进行了一项关于癌症知识、态度和健康行为的电话调查。这些区域是该市癌症发病率最高的地区，且主要为非裔美国人。在随机抽取的670名18岁以上的人中，243人为男性，427人为女性。在女性中，84%的人认为吸烟会导致癌症，48%的人认为饮酒会导致癌症；31%的人吸烟，38%的人饮酒。在男性中，分别有91%和52%的人认为香烟和酒精会导致癌症；41%的人吸烟，54%的人饮酒。40岁以上的男性中只有6%的人践行了所有八项推荐的癌症预防行为，而40岁以上的女性中只有2%的人践行了所有预防性健康行为。研究还考察了癌症预防行为与社会经济地位之间的关系。这项研究表明，预防性健康行为与社会经济地位无关。数据表明，针对华盛顿特区这一人群的癌症预防和控制项目及服务应该增加并强化。
