A Community-Based Educational Intervention to Improve Colorectal Cancer Screening

This study investigates the facilitators and barriers to colorectal cancer screening in underserved populations with a focus on African American, Latinx, and Asian (Chinese) in the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center catchment area. Learning what encourages people and what keeps people from getting colorectal cancer screening may help researchers develop an educational tool for colorectal cancer screening that addresses colorectal cancer knowledge, beliefs, and cultural factors in underserved populations.

本研究聚焦西德尼·金梅尔癌症中心（Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center）服务覆盖区域内的服务不足人群，重点关注非裔美国人、拉丁裔及亚裔（华裔）群体，探究结直肠癌筛查（colorectal cancer screening）的促进因素与阻碍因素。明晰民众参与结直肠癌筛查的驱动因素与阻碍因素，可助力研究人员开发面向服务不足人群的结直肠癌筛查教育工具，该工具可针对性覆盖结直肠癌相关认知、信念及文化影响因素。
