| 1 | Uptake of prostate cancer screening and associated factors among Chinese men aged 50 or more: a population-based survey显示文摘Objective: To investigate the uptake rate of prostate specific antigen(PSA) testing among Hong Kong Chinese males aged 50 or above, and identify factors associated with the likelihood of undergoing a PSA test.Methods: A population-based telephone survey was conducted in Hong Kong in 2007. The survey covered demographic information, perceived health status, use of complementary therapy, cancer screening behavior, perceived susceptibility to cancer and family history of cancer. Descriptive statistics, percentages and logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis.Results: A total of 1,002 men aged 50 or above took part in the study(response rate =67%), and the uptake rate of PSA testing was found to be 10%. Employment status, use of complementary therapy, perceiving regular visits to a doctor as good for health and the recommendations of health professionals were significant factors associated with PSA testing.Conclusion: The uptake rate of PSA testing in the study population was very low. Among all the factors identified, recommendations from health professionals had the strongest association with the uptake of PSA testing, and they should therefore take an active role in educating this population about cancer prevention and detection. | Winnie K.W.So Kai Chow Choi Winnie P.Y.Tang Paul C.W.Lee Ann T.Y.Shiu Simone S.M.Ho Helen Y.L.Chan Wendy W.T.Lam William B.Goggins Carmen W.H.Chan | 2014 | Cancer Biology & Medicine2014，11，1： | 1 |
