Knowledge and social engagement change in intention to be screened for colorectal cancer

Abstract

The effectiveness of health promotion technologies on knowledge and social engagement may vary across different demographic characteristics. Further, the importance of social engagement likelihood in interacting with intention to be screened was substantiated.

Knowledge of colorectal cancer screening guidelines and intention to obtain screening among nonadherent Filipino, Hmong, and Korean Americans

“…Prior studies assessed CRC knowledge by measuring awareness of CRC, names of screening tests, CRC risks, and CRC symptoms, which yielded mixed findings regarding the association of knowledge with intention or screening adherence. 17–19 Educational interventions with Filipinos 20 , Hmong 8 and Koreans 9 are effective in increasing guideline knowledge and in CRC screening, 8,20 with knowledge mediated the intervention effects on screening receipt among Hmong and Filipinos. 8,20 Our findings confirm the importance of increasing knowledge of CRC screening guidelines, a highly modifiable factor, as part of any strategy to promote CRC screening among non-adherent Asian Americans.…”

Scripted tours through a giant inflatable colon: An innovative and effective educational tool in urban communities

“…Additionally, our findings also contribute to the existing evidence on inflatable colon exhibits in other populations. To date, there have only been four other studies in the continental U.S. that have explored the impact of a tour through the inflatable colon on CRC knowledge and intention to undergo CRC screening ( Sanchez et al, 2014 , Briant et al, 2015a , Briant et al, 2015b , Molina et al, 2018 , Redwood et al, 2013 ). Two of the studies were conducted in a rural, Hispanic population in Washington state ( Briant et al, 2015a , Briant et al, 2015b ).…”

Leveraging system sciences methods in clinical trial evaluation: An example concerning African American women diagnosed with breast cancer via the Patient Navigation in Medically Underserved Areas study

“…Participants will receive a $75 incentive; this amount is based on, informed by previous attempts to recruit Chicago-based AA breast cancer participants [48,49]. Table 1 depicts the constructs and associated validated instruments that will be used [48,[50], [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], [59], [60]]. To note, all survey data will be collected and managed using Qualtrics electronic data capture tools.…”

“…Table 1 also depicts the constructs, associated aims, and validated instruments that will be used. To note, all survey data will be collected and managed using Qualtrics electronic data capture tools [48,[50], [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], [59], [60],68]. Staff will conduct a 45–60 min phone or in-person survey, based on participants' preferences.…”
