The attitude of non-examined residents to a mass screening program for gastric cancer has been surveyed by a self-administered questionnaire among 3660 residents in a small town near Kitakyushu City. Among 1159 subjects who had not received any type of examination during the past 3 years, the answers of 638 subjects who completed the questionnaire were analyzed in this study. Reasons for not being examined were classified into 4 types; "unnecessary", "rejected", "inconvenient" and "others". The most frequent reason for not taking part in the screening program was "inconvenient" which means that there were some difficulties for them to participate in the program even if they wanted to. This reason was followed by "unnecessary" and "rejected". "Inconvenient" was the main reason for not being examined among people in their forties and fifties and/or among those who have jobs. Among elderly people, "unnecessary" had the highest frequency. "Rejected" was the least important reason in all age groups. In each age group "rejected" was found more frequently among females than males. As the type of reason for not being examined was different among groups, it is essential to work out different countermeasures for each group in order to raise the participating rate. 相似文献

As part of the strategic planning for increasing participation by community residents in cancer screening, a survey about life style and attitudes toward cancer screening was carried out in Samukawa town, Kanagawa Prefecture. Subjects were males 40 years old or over, and females 30 years old or over selected by random sampling from residents. Number of subjects was 1,916 (822 males, 1,094 females). Self administered anonymous questionnaires were sent and returned by mail. The response rate was 73%. The results were as follows: (1) The reported participation rates for cancer screening under "the Health and Medical Services Law for the Aged" did not reflect the actual participation rate of residents. (2) The major reason for not participation in screening was lack of interest in cancer prevention. (3) Socio-economic status of regular participants in screening was different from persons who did not participate. (4) Persons who did not participate in screening were more passive with regard to obtaining knowledge of cancer than regular participants. (5) Results of this study show that cancer prevention education at various levels such as by clinical offices, TV and radio programs, and newspapers may be effective. In order to increase participation in screening programs, health education that considers the life style characteristics of persons who do not participate in the screening programs is vitally important. 相似文献

An opportunity to examine the effects of significant, widely reported events on participation in a breast cancer screening program was presented when countrywide public attention was called to breast cancer by reports of the breast surgery of the wives of President and Vice President of United States. These events occurred in September and October 1974 while a breast cancer screening program was underway in the health Insurance Plan of Greater New York. The research design of this program permitted measurements to be made of the participation of the plan''s members in the screening before, during, and after these famous mastectomies and of the participants'' characteristics during different periods of the research program. In late 1974, when there was great mass media emphasis on breast cancer, participation rates in the breast cancer screening program increased significantly. In the study periods immediately following, however, participation rates declined to previous levels. The increase in Participation rates in late 1974 was fairly uniform among all demographic groups, whether classified by age, education, income, race, or religion. In addition to increases in the participation rate associated with the events of late 1974, there was also an increased tendency among women who were screened to respond readily to mailed invitations to appear for screenings. This increase insensitivity to efforts to win their participation was more pronounced among those groups that this study and other studies have shown are more likely to participate in preventive health programs and to respond more readily to request to participate. 相似文献

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The primary aim of the research described in this paper was to ascertain whether inclusion of a self administered questionnaire with the usual invitation to routine breast screening affected screening uptake. Secondary aims included establishing appropriate questionnaire distribution and collection methods within the framework of the National Health Service Breast Screening Programme and optimisation of questionnaire design. DESIGN: Randomised study. SETTING: Oxfordshire and West of London Breast Screening Units. PARTICIPANTS/METHODS: 6400 women invited for routine screening mammography were individually randomised to receive either the usual breast screening invitation alone, or to receive the usual invitation accompanied by a self administered questionnaire, to be returned at the time of screening. Participants were then followed up and attendance rates at screening were compared between groups. MAIN RESULTS: Screening attendance rates were similar in women who did and did not receive a questionnaire (71% in each group). Of those who were sent a questionnaire and attended for screening, 77% returned a completed questionnaire. Screening uptake was not affected by the way in which the questionnaire was returned or by whether or not personal details and signed permission for follow up were requested. CONCLUSIONS: The inclusion of a self administered questionnaire accompanying the invitation to breast screening did not adversely affect screening uptake. A high proportion of women completed the questionnaire.

PURPOSE: To evaluate results of screening for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia among youth in a federally funded job training program. METHODS: Data were evaluated from medical records of 12,881 randomly selected students in 54 U.S. job training centers during 1996. The intake medical evaluation includes serologic testing for syphilis. The policy was for females to receive a pelvic examination with gonorrhea and chlamydia testing and for males to be first screened with a urine leukocyte esterase (LE) assay, with follow-up gonorrhea and chlamydia testing for those with positive LE results. RESULTS: Adjusting for our sampling strategy, among females, an estimated 9.2% had a positive chlamydia test, 2.7% a positive gonorrhea test, and 0.4% had a positive syphilis test. Gonorrhea and chlamydia rates among females were highest in African-American followed by Native American students. Chlamydia infection was most common in younger women < or = 17 years of age. An estimated 0.1% of males had a positive syphilis test, and 4.8% of males a positive urine LE test. Of 103 LE-positive males tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia, only 27 (26%) had a positive test for one of these STDs. CONCLUSIONS: Our study supports routine screening of adolescents for gonorrhea and chlamydia, including those youth from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. Because individuals from such backgrounds may not regularly interact with traditional clinical health care systems, screening and treatment should be offered in alternative settings, such as the job training program described in this study. 相似文献

Objective: To examine among people attending outpatient clinics aged 50–74 at average risk of colorectal cancer (CRC): 1) The proportion who report: a) faecal occult blood test (FOBT) within the past two years; and b) colonoscopy within the past five years, including the reasons for undergoing colonoscopy; 2) characteristics associated with under‐screening; 3) For those who are under‐screened, the proportion who are: a) willing to receive help and the acceptability of different methods of receiving help, and; b) unwilling to receive help and reasons for this. Methods: Cross‐sectional survey of 197 participants attending a major regional hospital in New South Wales, Australia. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine correlates of under‐screening. Results: A total of 59% reported either FOBT in the past two years or colonoscopy in the past five years. Of those reporting colonoscopy in the past five years, 21% were potentially over‐screened. Males were more likely than females to be under‐screened. Of those under‐screened (41%), fewer than half were willing to receive screening advice. Conclusions and implications for public health: A significant proportion of people attending outpatient clinics are under‐screened for CRC, with some people also over‐screened. There is a need to explore strategies to overcome both under‐ and over‐screening. 相似文献

A mass screening program to detect infants with hearing impairment was conducted at the Sapporo Toyohira Health Center in Hokkaido. Between April 1988 and March 1990, 5,676 infants were screened by a questionnaire at the time of the 4-month health examination. Out of the 5,080 cases who could be followed, nine infants underwent thorough otolaryngological examinations, and among the nine infants three cases with hearing impairment were detected. The prevalence rate was, therefore, one case out of 1,693 infants. Although false positive cases amounted to about 5% of the initial infant population, true positive cases were confirmed out of the initially screened positive cases at 7 or 10 months of age through other questionnaires and through behavioral hearing tests using a bell. No false negative cases were found. Inclusion of this mass screening system in the routine child health program is recommended. 相似文献

We conducted a survey of 1,184 women 35 years of age or older who were employees of a company in Los Angeles County, California, to determine why some women participated in a worksite mammography screening program whereas others did not. Of the 111 who accepted a mammogram, 90 responded to the survey; of the 1,073 who declined mammography, 620 responded. The women were predominantly white, were well educated, and had health insurance. Of the 111 women who received mammograms, one was diagnosed with carcinoma. Seventy-three percent of the respondents to the survey 40 years of age or older who declined mammograms had already fulfilled American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines for mammography screening at the time of the program. Women who accepted a mammogram were more likely to have had at least one previous mammogram than were women who had not met ACS guidelines yet who declined screening. We conclude that many female employees who are white, are well educated, and have health insurance may not participate in a worksite mammography screening program because they have been screened elsewhere. Companies providing worksite mammography screening should target education to women who have not met ACS guidelines, especially those who have never had a mammogram. 相似文献

CONTEXT: Since 1993, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and professional medical organizations have recommended that all sexually experienced female adolescents receive annual screening for Chlamydia trachomatis. Whether adolescents receive this care is largely unknown. METHODS: Reports of receipt of testing or treatment for a sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the past year, as well as sites of care, were obtained from 3,987 sexually experienced females in grades 7-12 who participated in Wave 1 of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, conducted in 1995. Logistic regression was used to determine predictors of reporting care. RESULTS: Eighteen percent of all participants reported having received STD services in the past year. Of those who reported having had a routine physical examination in the past year, 22% reported receipt of STD services. The proportion reporting STD care increased linearly with age from 9% of 12-13-year-olds to 25% of those 19 or older. In adjusted analyses, the odds of reporting testing or treatment were elevated among participants who had had a physical examination in the past year (odds ratio, 2.1), those with Medicaid or Medicare insurance (1.9), black women (1.5) and older adolescents (1.2). Adolescents most often reported having received STD care at a community health center (44%) or a private physician's office (31%). CONCLUSIONS: Continued inadequate screening may contribute to persisting high prevalence of chlamydia infection among adolescents. Future research is needed to determine whether the proportions of adolescents receiving recommended STD screening have increased over time. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Studies in Western countries have revealed that urinary incontinence, non-intentional loss of urine, is a common condition in aged populations, and even younger individuals may suffer from urinary incontinence. However, in Japan, the evidence for community residents on this topic is limited. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of urinary incontinence among middle aged using a structured questionnaire and older people and to provide useful information including frequency, voided volume, relation to parity as a risk factor and persons to consult for this condition. METHODS: The study subjects consisted of 985 residents, 350 males (mean age 62.5 +/- 11.2 years)and 635 females (64.3 +/- 11.4), who participated in annual health check-ups and answered a self-reported questionnaire on urinary incontinence. The questionnaire included questions on frequency, voided volume, condition-specific QOL score, self-diagnostic item (above four from Scored International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form Japanese version), person to consult for this condition and parity (only for females). RESULTS: The proportion of those with urinary incontinence was 11.4% in males and 34.5% in females, and the proportion increased with age (P for trend <0.01). In females, the proportion was high, even in their forties (30.4%). In this study, parity was associated with urinary incontinence: compared to females with no childbirth experience, those giving birth to 4 or more children showed an odds ratio of 4.26 (95% CI: 1.13-16.10). In females, an increase in frequency of urinary incontinence negatively affected the QOL. When asked who they would consult, the majority of males answered either a medical institution (54.2%) or family (34.0%). In females, 39.6% reported a medical institution, 22.6% reported family, 16.5% reported no one, 10.6% reported health nurses other than in medical institutions and 9.5% reported friends. CONCLUSIONS: The study results showed that urinary incontinence is a common condition in this population. Particularly, a large proportion of females suffer from this condition, even in their forties. The study also revealed that urinary incontinence might negatively affect the QOL and that there are some individuals who do not consult (or intend to consult) anyone about their problem. This information might be useful for planning health policy on the topic in the future. 相似文献

STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to investigate which factors in the operating procedure of the gastric cancer screening programme carried out by local Japanese municipalities affect the participation rate. DESIGN--This was a cross-sectional study. Data were mainly obtained by questionnaire completed by the person in charge of health in each municipal council. Information was sought on screening motivation, screening programme organisation, payment for the examination, the scheduling and filing system, and community manpower. Data on the participation levels were obtained from the health data service system published by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 1991. SETTING--All of Japan's 3268 local municipalities were sent the questionnaire. Altogether 2795 municipalities responded (85.5% response rate). SUBJECTS--The local municipality was regarded as the study unit. The municipalities were classified into two groups--small municipalities, those with < 10,000 population aged 40 years and over, and large municipalities, those with > 10,000 population aged 40 years and over. MAIN RESULTS--The participation rate in the screening programme varied according to the municipality population size and age. Small municipalities had higher participation rates. The rate in people aged 60-69 years was highest and that in those aged 70+ years was lowest. The participation rate was positively associated with factors related to the operating procedure before (for example, giving information about screening), during (for example, assisting the screening staff), and after (setting up the relevant filing systems) the gastric examination. CONCLUSIONS--The results suggest that personal motivation, manpower in local residents' organisations, scheduling time for convenience, and a basic filing system for individual data, especially for people who have not participated in the programme for a few years, are important in increasing participation. 相似文献

Health education to increase screening for cervical cancer among Lumbee Indian women in North Carolina. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Although age-adjusted mortality rates from cancer among Native-Americans are generally lower than for the US population as a whole, cervical cancer mortality rates are higher. This report presents results from a National Cancer Institute-funded health education program conducted among the Lumbee tribe in North Carolina that was designed to increase the proportion of women, age 18 and older, who receive Pap smears to screen for cervical cancer. The Solomon Four Group research design was used for this project. Participants were selected at random from the enrollment records of the Lumbee tribe and data collection was carried out during face-to-face interviews. The health education program was provided one-on-one in women's homes by a trained lay health educator and included verbal, print and videotape information. A total of 979 women were enrolled in the study, and 125 were lost to follow-up between the pre-test and post-test. Women who received the education program were found to be more likely to have knowledge of the Pap smear and to report a Pap smear in the past year at the post-test than those in the control group, regardless of whether they received the pre-test interview, P < 0.05. Women most likely to respond to the education program were also likely to have reported that they receive an annual physical examination. Women with better knowledge of the Pap smear tended to have more education, higher income and greater identification with Native-American culture than those with less knowledge. We conclude that the health education program was associated with greater knowledge about cervical cancer prevention and higher proportions of Lumbee women obtaining Pap smears in the past year. 相似文献

Meconium fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are validated biomarkers of fetal alcohol exposure. Meconium FAEE testing can potentially be used as a screen by health-care professionals to identify neonates at-risk for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, thereby permitting diagnostic follow-up of these children and early intervention in those who develop disabilities. The purpose of this study was to assess whether women would willingly partake in a screening program of this nature. This was determined by launching a pilot screening program for prenatal alcohol exposure in a high-risk obstetric unit previously shown to have a high prevalence of FAEE-positive meconium via anonymous meconium testing. The program involved voluntary testing of meconium for FAEEs and long-term developmental follow-up of positive cases through an existing public health program. The participation rate in the screening program was significantly lower than when testing was conducted anonymously (78% vs. 95%, respectively; p < 0.05), and the positivity rate was 3% in contrast to 30% observed under anonymous conditions (p < 0.001). These low rates suggest that the majority of mothers who consumed alcohol in pregnancy refused to participate. We conclude that despite the potential benefits of such screening programs, maternal unwillingness to consent, likely due to fear, embarrassment, and guilt, may limit the effectiveness of meconium testing for population-based open screening, highlighting the need for public education and social marketing efforts for such programs to be of benefit. 相似文献
