“…The length of stay in the US was a positive predictor to CRC screening (Juon et al, 2003;Sun et al, 2004;Ferrer et al, 2011). If the length of stay in the US exceeded 20 years/15 years (Wong et al, 2005;Jo et al, 2008), more than 25% of life spent in the US (Juon et al, 2003), or as 10% increasing lifetime proportion in the US (Ferrer et al, 2011), adherence of CRC screening was significantly increased.…”

“…From 16-30% of Filipino Americans reported having ever had FOBT and 18-31% having ever had endoscopy (Maxwell et al, 2000; and 29% having had FOBT in the past year and 36% of sigmoidoscopy and 42% of colonoscopy in the study of Ferrer et al (2011).…”

Objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer for all US populations including Asian Americans. CRC screening has considerable benefits to prevent CRC and reduce mortality. The purpose of this article was to review the published literature on rates of colorectal cancer screening and factors associated with colorectal cancer screening practice among Asian Americans. Methods: Through searching electronic reference databases from 2000 to 2013, 30 articles were found on Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese Americans. Findings: Asian Americans had significantly low ratesfor CRC screening; Korean Americans reported the lowest rates, while higher screening rates were found among Japanese Americans. Older age, longer length of stay in the US, and having a physician's recommendation were the most common facilitators to receiving screening. The common inhibiting factors were financial issues, employment status, and worries/fears about the procedure. Conclusions: Despite a number of Asian Americans being vulnerable to CRC, individual Asian subgroups were underserved with CRC screening and intervention. Further studies should focus on each individual Asian subgroup and culturally proficient CRC screening intervention programs should be developed for each.

“…However, further empirical research is needed to develop a deeper understanding of the influence of psychosocial factors on cancer screening in conjunction with the factors discussed above for older Hispanic women (Arrendondo, Pollak, & Constanzo, 2008;Farmer, Reddick, D'Agostino, & Jackson, 2007;Gao, Burke, Somkin, & Pasick, 2009). Findings from empirical investigations suggest that psychosocial factors such as attitudes (Arrendondo et al, 2008;Dang, Lee, & Tran, 2010, Jimenez, Xie, Goldsteen, & Chalas, 2011, perceived control (Ferrer, Ramirez, Beckman, Danao, & Ashing-Giwa, 2011;Orom, Kiviniemi, Underwood, Ross, & Shavers, 2010), and subjective norms (Farmer et al, 2007), influence the cancer screening behaviors of various populations of women.…”

Guided by the theory of planned behavior, this study utilized data from the 2008 wave of the Health and Retirement Study to investigate psychosocial factors associated with older Hispanic women's participation in breast cancer screening services. Hierarchical logistic regression models were used to assess the odds of breast cancer screening participation. Findings indicate that satisfaction with aging and constraints were associated with a reduced likelihood of participating in breast cancer screening. These findings suggest the continued importance to assess older women's attitudes when discussing preventive services.

Effect of Combined Patient Decision Aid and Patient Navigation vs Usual Care for Colorectal Cancer Screening in a Vulnerable Patient Population

et al. 2017

IMPORTANCE Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is underused, especially among vulnerable populations. Decision aids and patient navigation are potentially complementary interventions for improving CRC screening rates, but their combined effect on screening completion is unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine the combined effect of a CRC screening decision aid and patient navigation compared with usual care on CRC screening completion. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this randomized clinical trial, data were collected from January 2014 to March 2016 at 2 community health center practices, 1 in North Carolina and 1 in New Mexico, serving vulnerable populations. Patients ages 50 to 75 years who had average CRC risk, spoke English or Spanish, were not current with recommended CRC screening, and were attending primary care visits were recruited and randomized 1:1 to intervention or control arms. INTERVENTIONS Intervention participants viewed a CRC screening decision aid in English or Spanish immediately before their clinician encounter. The decision aid promoted screening and presented colonoscopy and fecal occult blood testing as screening options. After the clinician encounter, intervention patients received support for screening completion from a bilingual patient navigator. Control participants viewed a food safety video before the encounter and otherwise received usual care. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was CRC screening completion within 6 months of the index study visit assessed by blinded medical record review. RESULTS Characteristics of the 265 participants were as follows: their mean age was 58 years; 173 (65%) were female, 164 (62%) were Latino; 40 (15%) were white non-Latino; 61 (23%) were black or of mixed race; 191 (78%) had a household income of less than $20 000; 101 (38%) had low literacy; 75 (28%) were on Medicaid; and 91 (34%) were uninsured. Intervention participants were more likely to complete CRC screening within 6 months (68% vs 27%); adjusted-difference, 40 percentage points (95% CI, 29-51 percentage points). The intervention was more effective in women than in men (50 vs 21 percentage point increase, interaction P = .02). No effect modification was observed across other subgroups. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE A patient decision aid plus patient navigation increased the rate of CRC screening completion in compared with usual care in vulnerable primary care patients.
