与白色男性相比，越南裔美国男性面临多重健康差异。我们的研究目的是确定在美国的越南男性使用的健康信息的来源。2002年期间，在西雅图的越南男性中进行了一项以人口为基础的面对面调查。我们的调查由509名越南男性完成（79%的回复率）。最常报告的健康信息来源包括越南报纸/杂志（73%）、越南语和英语电视（分别为64%和67%）、越南语广播（51%）以及朋友和家人（分别为51%和63%）。我们发现，越南男性人口的社会人口学亚组之间的健康信息的来源有显着差异。越南裔美国男性的健康信息来源与其他种族/族裔群体有很大不同。研究结果应用于指导越南男性和越南男性人口中的亚群的健康教育干预措施的发展。
Vietnamese American men face multiple health disparities compared to white men. Our study objective was to determine the sources of health information used by Vietnamese men in the United States. A population-based, in-person survey was conducted among Vietnamese men in Seattle during 2002. Our survey was completed by 509 Vietnamese men (79% response rate). The most commonly reported sources of health information included Vietnamese newspapers/magazines (73%), Vietnamese and English language television (64% and 67%, respectively), Vietnamese radio (51%), and friends and family members (51% and 63%, respectively). We found that sources of health information varied significantly among sociodemographic subgroups of the Vietnamese male population. Sources of health information among Vietnamese American men differ considerably from other racial/ethnic groups. Research findings should be used to guide the development of health education interventions for Vietnamese men and subgroups within the Vietnamese male population.
