背景资料。我们评估了居住在威斯康星州的六年级女生对癌症病因的看法。方法。在一项横断面健康调查中，我们让女学生列出了三种致癌原因。结果。53名学生共回答了141个问题。最常见的致癌原因是吸烟(91%)、吸毒(32%)、不健康饮食(25%)和遗传(25%)。只有不到10%的学生列出了其他潜在的可改变的风险因素，如锻炼、日晒或饮酒。结论。这项研究中的学生似乎将一系列高风险行为与健康后果联系在一起，尽管具体的健康风险可能并不被理解。
Background. We evaluated students' perception of cancer causation among sixth-grade girls living in Wisconsin. Method. We asked female students to list up to 3 causes of cancer in a cross-sectional health survey. Results. A total of 141 answers were given by 53 students. The most frequently listed causes of cancer were cigarette smoking (91%), drugs (32%), an unhealthy diet (25%), and heredity (25%). Less than 10% of students listed other potentially modifiable risk factors such as exercise, sun exposure, or alcohol consumption. Conclusion. Students in this study appeared to link a range of high-risk behaviors with health consequences, although the specific health risks may not be understood.
