This correlational pilot study measured limitations of prostate cancer screening, using a revised Knowledge of Prostate Cancer Questionnaire. Knowledge in 81 low-income men is reported. The Knowledge About Prostate Cancer Screening Questionnaire consists of 12 questions, with scores ranging from 0 to 12. Concepts measured include limitations, symptoms, risk factors, and screening age guidelines. The Total Knowledge Score had a mean of 6.60, with a standard deviation of 3.00, indicating that knowledge was low. Half of the men knew that "some treatments for prostate cancer can make it harder for men to control their urine." More than half of the men knew that, "some treatments for prostate cancer can cause problems with a man's ability to have sex." Married men, low-income men, and Caucasian men had significantly lower Total Knowledge Scores than unmarried, higher income, and African American men. Implications for practice and research are discussed.
This exchange describes the key components for establishing collaborative partnerships in the delivery of services to children with communication disorders: establishing a transdisciplinary approach to teaming, marketing the collaborative concept to enlist administrative support and recruit teachers, providing collaborative in-service training, and collaboratively planning and implementing lessons. A 3-year experience with a training grant emphasizing collaboration among speech-language pathologists and regular education teachers has led us to move beyond speech-language pathologists providing language experiences in the classroom to a more collaborative approach. Our collaborative teams share the responsibility for making decisions in the delivery of services to children with communication disorders.
