背景技术背景：提高结直肠癌（CRC）筛查率可以降低CRC相关死亡率，据估计，到2018年底，CRC相关死亡率将导致美国约50，630人死亡。在韩裔美国人中，CRC的患病率明显增加。虽然CRC筛查已被广泛实施，但与其他亚洲种族相比，50岁以上的韩裔美国人的CRC筛查率最低。语言和文化等障碍可能使有移民背景的人难以参与筛选程序。因此，本研究的目的是确定是否适当的CRC教育可以提高认识，知识和行为，在筛查中的韩裔美国人生活在洛杉矶韩国城area.DESIGN：本研究进行了100个自我认定的韩裔美国人之间的年龄在45-75岁，谁自愿参加了这项研究，通过当地社区外展从2018年1月至6月。为对照组提供了教育手册，而干预组则参加了额外的简短教育研讨会。所有参与者被要求完成一份调查问卷后，和数据收集site.RESULTS：我们发现，干预有显着的效果，对大肠息肉的认识（OR（优势比）：22.47; 95%CI：6.42-78.62; p值
BACKGROUND: Improving rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening can reduce CRC-related mortality, which is estimated to cause about 50,630 deaths in the U.S. by the end of 2018. There is a noted increasing prevalence of CRC among Korean Americans. Although CRC screening has been widely implemented, Korean Americans over the age of 50 have the lowest rates of proper CRC screening, compared to those of other Asian ethnicities. Barriers, such as language and culture, may be making participation in screening procedures difficult for those with immigrant backgrounds. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether proper CRC education can enhance awareness, knowledge, and behavior in screening among Korean Americans living in the Los Angeles Koreatown area.DESIGN: This study was conducted among 100 self-identified Korean Americans between the ages of 45-75, who voluntarily participated in this study through local community outreach from January to June 2018. Educational brochures were provided for those in the control group, while those in the intervention group attended an additional short educational seminar. All participants were asked to complete a questionnaire after, and data were collected on site.RESULTS: We found that intervention had a significant effect on awareness regarding colorectal polyps (OR (odds ratio): 22.47; 95% CI: 6.42-78.62; p-value
