柬埔寨裔美国人患肝癌的风险较高。这种健康差异可归因于乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）感染率高。我们的研究调查了柬埔寨男性和女性中与HBV检测相关的因素。在西雅图地区进行了一项基于人口的调查。健康行为框架指导了我们的调查工具开发。我们试图采访每个家庭的一男一女。样本包括300名男性和367名女性。大约一半的男性（45%）和女性（54%）受访者接受了乙肝病毒检测。有两个因素与男性和女性的检测独立相关：医生建议检测，并要求医生进行检测。知道看起来和感觉健康的人可以传播HBV与男性检测独立相关。乙型肝炎病毒检测水平低仍然是柬埔寨人的一个公共卫生问题。干预措施应通过鼓励为柬埔寨人提供服务的提供者推荐HBV检测以及授权柬埔寨人要求检测来改善患者与提供者之间的沟通。
Cambodian Americans have an elevated risk of liver cancer. This health disparity is attributable to high rates of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Our study examined factors associated with HBV testing among Cambodian men and women. A population-based survey was conducted in the Seattle area. The Health Behavior Framework guided our survey instrument development. We attempted to interview a man and a woman in each household. The sample included 300 men and 367 women. About one-half of the male (45%) and female (54%) respondents had been tested for HBV. Two factors were independently associated with testing among men and women: a doctor had recommended testing and had asked a doctor for testing. Knowing that someone who looks and feels healthy can spread HBV was independently associated with testing among men. Low levels of HBV testing remain a public health problem among Cambodians. Interventions should improve patient-provider communication by encouraging providers who serve Cambodians to recommend HBV testing, as well as by empowering Cambodians to ask for testing.
