这项研究调查了以前被监禁的男性的癌症知识，心理健康和烟草使用情况。在纽约市，对以前被监禁的男性进行的癌症健康研究采用横断面研究设计，在259名年龄在35-67岁的男性中检查癌症知识和预防（CKP）结果。使用国家癌症研究所健康信息国家趋势调查的项目评估CKP。心理症状采用简明症状量表进行检查。在完成调查的259名男性中，76%的受访者自我报告为当前吸烟者。目前吸烟者每天吸烟1至40支。每天吸烟的平均数量为10.37支（SD = 6.76）。65%（n= 165）的受访者接受了癌症筛查。CKP评分范围从2到28;平均值为15.05（SD = 5.49），表明男性在CKP方面得分很低。CKP评分与每天吸烟数量呈负相关，τ=-0.13，p = 0.01。这些结果对于在涉及司法的环境中提高癌症健康教育计划的可及性具有重要意义。
This study examined cancer knowledge, mental health, and tobacco use in formerly incarcerated men. The Cancer-Health Research Study with Formerly Incarcerated Men in New York City used a cross-sectional research design to examine cancer knowledge and prevention (CKP) outcomes among 259 justice-involved males, ages 35–67. CKP was assessed using items from the National Cancer Institute’s Health Information National Trends Survey. Psychological symptoms were examined using the Brief Symptom Inventory. Of the 259 men who completed the survey, 76 % of the respondents self-reported as current smokers. Current smokers smoked between 1 and 40 cigarettes per day. The mean number of cigarettes smoked per day was 10.37 (SD = 6.76). Sixty-five percent (n= 165) of the respondents underwent cancer-screening tests. CKP scores ranged from 2 to 28; the mean was 15.05 (SD = 5.49), indicating that the men scored very low in terms of CKP. CKP scores were negatively associated with the number of cigarettes smoked per day,τ= −.13,p= .01. These results have important implications for enhancing access to cancer-health education programs in justice-involved settings.
