这项研究的特点是人口统计学和过去的前列腺筛查行为的男性谁参加了免费筛查前列腺癌。在1,680名男性中评估了人口统计学，过去的前列腺筛查行为，感知风险和癌症担忧。平均年龄为58.2岁，56%为白色，76%有健康保险。有保险的男性更可能有前列腺特异性抗原（PSA）测试和直肠指检（DRE）。白色男性比非裔美国男性更有可能有PSA和DRE，并与医生讨论PSA测试。非裔美国人男性比白色男性报告了更大的感知风险和更多的担忧。非裔美国人和白色男性之间的筛查差异由保险状况解释。这些结果可能有助于指导未来筛查项目的开发和推广。未来的努力应该针对提高对前列腺癌筛查程序的认识。
This study characterizes demographic and past prostate screening behaviors of men who participated in a free screening for prostate cancer. Demographics, past prostate screening behavior, perceived risk, and cancer worry were assessed in 1,680 men. Mean age was 58.2 years, 56% were White, and 76% had health insurance. Men with insurance were more likely to have had a previous prostate- specific antigen (PSA) test and digital rectal exam (DRE). White men were more likely to have had a previous PSA and DRE and to have discussed PSA testing with a physician than African American men. African American men reported greater perceived risk and more worry than White men. Screening differences between African American and White men were explained by insurance status. These results may help guide the development of and promotion for future screening programs. Future efforts should be directed at increasing awareness about screening procedures for prostate cancer.
