Models that explain preventive behaviors, such as colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, do not account for social and cultural factors relevant to African Americans. This exploratory study examined the relationship between socio-cultural factors (e.g., traditional acculturative strategy, group-based medical mistrust, physician ethnicity, and group-level perceptions of susceptibility) and perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and CRC screening intentions among African Americans (N = 198; Age: M = 59.7, SD = 9.9; 65% female; 44% household income $50,000+). Hierarchical multiple regression was used to test the following models: Traditional Acculturative Strategy × Medical Mistrust; b) Physician’s Ethnicity × Medical Mistrust; c) Group Susceptibility × Medical Mistrust; and d) Group Susceptibility × Traditional Acculturative Strategy. Results revealed that perceiving high group susceptibility while being both more culturally traditional and less mistrustful was associated with more perception of screening benefits. Greater intention to be screened was associated with perceiving high group susceptibility while being more traditional and with low levels of mistrust in those with African American physicians. These results suggest that it may be beneficial to include social and cultural factors in behavioral interventions to increase CRC screening among African Americans.
