评估与癌症相关的警告信号和风险因素的公众知识的研究在使用的问题格式上有所不同。那些使用提示（识别）格式的人往往比那些使用无提示回忆格式的人找到更高水平的知识。本研究的目的是量化的效果，提示知识的七个警告信号的癌症，乳腺癌和肠癌的危险因素，使用的数据从大的代表性样本的英国人口。我们还测试了提示效果的人口统计学差异，假设提示对知识最少的群体影响最大，特别是男性，老年人和年轻人，以及受教育程度最低的群体。对来自四项ONS调查（总计n = 5，863）的数据进行的分析表明，与非提示条件相比，提示条件下对所有体征和风险因素的了解显著更高。与我们的假设相反，提示与性别和教育水平的交互作用模式是不一致的，提示的效果随着年龄的增长而下降。未来的研究对癌症的知识和最合适的问题格式的影响进行了讨论。
Studies evaluating public knowledge of the warning signs and risk factors associated with cancer have varied in the question format used. Those using a prompted (recognition) format have tended to find higher levels of knowledge than those using an unprompted, recall format. The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of prompting on knowledge of the seven warning signs of cancer, and risk factors for breast and bowel cancer, using data from large representative samples of the UK population. We also tested for demographic differences in the effect of prompting, hypothesizing that prompting would have the greatest impact on groups with least knowledge, specifically men, older and younger people, and those with least education. Analysis of data from four ONS surveys (total n = 5,863) demonstrated significantly higher knowledge of all signs and risk factors in the prompted compared with the unprompted condition. Contrary to our hypothesis, the pattern of interaction of prompting with gender and level of education was inconsistent, and the effect of prompting decreased with increasing age. Implications for future research on cancer knowledge and the most appropriate question format are discussed.
