比较结直肠癌(CRC)高危个体和平均风险个体与他们所列举的影响其发生CRC风险的因素。我们还研究了这些危险因素知觉与感知的易感性和参加结直肠癌筛查试验的关系。高危人群中的所有人都被告知，作为结直肠癌患者的兄弟姐妹，他们自己更有可能患上这种癌症。我们发现，兄弟姐妹之间在感知敏感度方面的差异很小。此外，尽管高危兄弟姐妹更有可能参与筛查，但只有20.2%的人认为遗传是增加风险的因素，而且在这些兄弟姐妹中，筛查参与和引用任何特定的风险因素之间没有关系，包括遗传。这些发现表明，需要进行更多研究，研究高危个体如何处理与风险相关的信息，以及这些信息对健康行为的影响。
Compared individuals at high versus average risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) with respect to factors they cited as affecting their risk of developing CRC. We also examined the relationship of these risk-factor perceptions to perceived susceptibility and participation in a CRC screening test. All individuals in the high-risk group were informed that, as a sibling of someone with CRC, they were more likely to get this cancer themselves. We found minimal differences among siblings with respect to perceived susceptibility. Further, although high-risk siblings were more likely to participate in screening, only 20.2% cited heredity as a risk-increasing factor, and, among these siblings, there was no relationship between screening participation and the citation of any specific risk factors, including heredity. These findings demonstrate the need for more research examining how high-risk individuals process risk-relevant information and the effect of this information on health behavior.
