“…Regardless of their ability to affect the work status of a population, health educators certainly can strive to promote the use of family health history tools ( 65 , 66 ) and assure that those men who are “unsure” of their family history of cancer become more informed of steps to prevent CRC and other chronic diseases.…”

Racial disparities in health among African American men (AAM) in the United States are extensive. In contrast to their White counterparts, AAM have more illnesses and die younger. AAM have colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality rates 25% and 50% higher, respectively, than White men. Due to CRC’s younger age at presentation and high incidence among AAM, CRC screening (CRCS) is warranted at the age of 45 rather than 50, but little is known about younger AAM’s views of CRCS. Employing survey design, the purpose of the study was to describe the male role norms (MRN), knowledge, attitudes, perceived subjective norms, and perceived barriers associated with screening for CRC among a non-random sample of 157 young adult AAM (ages 19–45). Sixty-seven percent of the study sample received a passing knowledge score (85% or better), yet no significant differences were found among the three educational levels (i.e., low, medium, high). More negative attitudes toward CRCS correlated with the participants’ strong perceptions of barriers, but no extremely negative or positive MRN and perceived subjective norms were found. The factors significantly associated with attitudes were family history of cancer (unsure), work status, and perceived barriers. Findings from this study provide a solid basis for developing structured health education interventions that address the salient factors shaping young adult AAM’s view of CRC and early detection screening behaviors.

“…Four of those studies reported descriptive findings 25,27,29,38 , and one study reported a statistically significant increase in participant's intention to incorporate genetics/genomics in their practices. 40 For example, after the 4-hour genetic symposium entitled "Genetics for Primary Care Physicians" at a continuing medical education conference in Lebanon, attendees expressed their willingness to start or refer patients for genetic testing and counseling. 29 Selfefficacy.…”

“…Fewer than one-third of the studies we assessed (n = 13; 29.5%) examined changes in genomic practice, which were self-reported by participants. Although all of these 13 studies assessing practice behavior reported positive behavior outcomes regarding clinical genetics practice after completion of the training, only 4 articles 15,33,35,40 reported statistically significant findings (the remaining articles presented only descriptive results).…”

“…Although genetics education is essential, it has traditionally been treated only as a pre-admission course or as part of a foundation course in medical curricula. However, since modern medicine is entering the age of clinical genetics, the importance of genetics in medical education has been emphasized (Bonham et al, 2009;Chen et al, 2014;Choi, 2014).…”

This study explored Korean medical students' perceptions of race from three perspectives: the definition of race, its biological reality, and the practical use of race information in medicine. Using three open-ended survey questions, we collected data from 506 Korean medical students. The data were analyzed through constant comparative analysis. We found diverse perceptions of race held by the students, which were similar to racial concepts that have emerged throughout the history of science. In addition, some students perceived race as a biological reality based on genetics and epidemiology. Lastly, 50.5% of students agreed to the use of the concept of race in the field of medicine for convenience, while the remainder disagreed with its use based on reasons such as racism, multi-culturalism, etc. Based on the results of this study, we suggest the development of an integrated educational program to increase students' understanding of race based on biology, culture, and ethics.
