FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING

描述：结直肠癌（CRC）是第二大癌症原因 美国男性和女性的死亡率。 虽然早期发现 可以导致死亡率和发病率下降，筛查仍然显着 风险增加的人利用不足：51岁及以上的人， 那些有家族史，个人结肠直肠息肉史， 溃疡性结肠炎、高脂肪/低纤维饮食和久坐的生活方式。 而且，以前关于乳腺癌预防的研究结果 已经表明信仰和卫生系统因素可以影响筛查， 行为 这项工作尚未扩大到儿童权利委员会， 跨理论模型的阶段性变化也没有在 该地区 因此，拟议研究的目的是审查 选定的诱发、强化和促成因素之间的关系， 采用CRC筛查的阶段（包括粪便潜血 试验/FOBT、软式乙状结肠镜检查和结肠镜检查）。 单变量 将采用统计技术（相关性、ANOVA、t检验、卡方检验） 用于检查诱发、启用和 强化因素和CRC筛查采用阶段。 多分类 将进行逻辑回归分析，以确定 预测因素与筛选行为的每个阶段显著相关。 研究计划

DESCRIPTION: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer mortality among men and women in the United States. Though early detection can lead to decreased mortality and morbidity, screening remains markedly underutilized by persons at increased risk: those aged 51 and older and those with a family history, personal history of colorectal polyps, ulcerative colitis, high fat/low fiber diets, and sedentary life-styles. And, previous research findings with respect to breast cancer prevention have shown that beliefs and health system factors can influence screening behavior. This work has not been extended to CRC, and work framed by the Trans-Theoretical Model's stages of change has also not been conducted in the area. The purpose of the proposed study is, therefore, to examine the relationship of selected predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors on stages of adoption of CRC screening (including Fecal Occult Blood Testing/FOBT, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy). Univariate statistical techniques (correlations, ANOVA, t-test, Chi Square) will be utilized to examine relationships among predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors, and stage of CRC screening adoption. Polytomous logistic regression analysis will be conducted to determine the set of predictors significantly associated with each stage of screening behavior. RESEARCH PLAN
