This study was a follow-up of a previous research of African-American men's PC screening practices. In the previous study, 85% of African-American men screened for PC and the determinants of screening were men's perceived "benefits" of PC testing, age, and education. This follow-up study was conducted on 234 men age 52 years and over regardless of ethnicity using a questionnaire and convenience sampling similar to the prior study. Results showed 96% screened for PC; no statistical differences in PC screening and ethnicity; and men's perceived "self-efficacy" and "benefits" were predictors of PC screening. More men screened for PC when advised by their health care providers and 94% of men stated "trust" in health care providers, indicating the importance of a "trusting-informative health care milieu" for men's self-efficacy to screen for PC. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
