非裔美国人的癌症发病率和死亡率最高：对老年非裔美国男性和女性进行了一系列焦点小组研究，以确定和检查影响筛查行为的社会心理因素。探讨了筛查的促进因素和障碍以及影响筛查行为的其他因素。研究结果表明，非裔美国男性和女性对筛查的看法不同。虽然对癌症筛查的看法和促进因素有相似之处，但影响癌症筛查的障碍和具体因素存在明显的性别差异。
Cancer incidence and mortality rates are highest among African Americans: A series of focus groups were conducted with older African American men and women to identify and examine psychosocial factors that influence screening behavior. Facilitators and barriers to screening as well as other factors that impact screening behaviors were explored. Study results indicate that African American men and women perceive screening in different ways. While there were similarities in the perceptions and facilitators to cancer screening, distinct gender differences were identified in the barriers and specific factors that influence cancer screening.
