“…Major themes emerging from the focus groups included lack of knowledge regarding cancer and confusion between prostate cancer screening and prostate cancer diagnostic tests. Similarly, Mincey et al 51 conducted focus groups and cross‐sectional interviews with 35 African American men. The respondents had very little knowledge and understanding of what their prostate is and what it does.…”

ObjectiveRecent studies indicate that many African American men may not be making informed decisions about prostate cancer early detection. This is partly due to patients having limited knowledge about early detection of the disease.MethodsThe present review is based upon bibliographic searches in PubMed and CINAHL and relevant search terms. Articles (n = 235) published in English from 1993 through July 31, 2020 were identified using the following MESH search terms and Boolean algebra commands: prostate cancer and knowledge and African Americans.ResultsForty‐two articles were eligible for inclusion. The results of this literature review indicate that many African American men have inadequate knowledge of prostate cancer and prostate cancer early detection. Studies indicate that knowledge of prostate cancer is particularly low among older, less‐educated, lower‐income, and unmarried men, along with those who lack a regular physician or health insurance. Many African American men are unaware that they are at increased risk of prostate cancer because of their age or race.ConclusionsCulturally appropriate educational efforts are needed to inform African‐ American men about the pros and cons of prostate cancer early detection and about risk factors for the disease so that they can make an informed decision about whether prostate cancer early detection is right for them. Of particular concern is the prostate cancer knowledge of low‐income and less‐educated men, along with those who lack health care insurance or a regular provider.

“…Interventions designed to effect knowledge about prostate cancer and cancer screening demonstrated similar lack of understanding and low knowledge. List et al 51 conducted a pre‐/post‐test trial of a prostate cancer educational intervention. Sixty‐three African American men were included in the trial.…”

“…Two prostate cancer studies can be compared to our study. One study occurred at a HBCU in the southern United States and was conducted among 35 African American men that ranged in age between 18 and 34 years (Mincey et al 2017). The participants of the study included freshmen (24%), sophomores (27%), juniors (15%), seniors (27%), and graduate students (9%).…”

MissionATINER is an Athens-based World Association of Academics and Researchers based in Athens. ATINER is an independent and non-profit Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER"s downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens"…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing". ("Pericles" Funeral Oration", in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER"s mission to revive the glory of AncientAthens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people"s opinions and beliefs. After all, the free expression of one"s opinion formed the basis for the development of democracy, and Athens was its cradle. As it turned out, the Golden Age of Athens was in fact, the Golden Age of the Western Civilization. Education and (Re)searching for the "truth" are the pillars of any free (democratic) society. This is the reason why Education and Research are the two core words in ATINER"s name.

“…In another study by Saleh et al, the levels of knowledge, health beliefs, and intent to screen for PC were at low levels [22]. In a qualitative study conducted by Mincey et al, the perceived severity level was high while that of perceived susceptibility was low [23]. Odedina et al in their study on men aged 40 to 70 years described that the subjects had positive beliefs about PC screening [24].…”

Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is the fourth most common and the second deadly cancer in the world. Various theories have been proposed to identify the characteristics of individuals and their surrounding environments that somehow affect their behaviors. The health belief model (HBM) is one of the theories that are useful for studying health problems and designing programs to prevent diseases and injuries. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine PC screening behaviors based on HBM in men aged 40-70 years old in Fasa city, Fars province, Iran. Methods: This was a descriptive, analytical, and cross-sectional study performed on 400 men aged 40-70 years in 2019. The data collection instrument was a standard questionnaire used in Anderson's study, whose validity and reliability have been confirmed. Data were analyzed by SPSS 22 using descriptive (frequency, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential (the Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression) statistics at the significance level of p<0.05. Results:The mean age of the participants in this study was 54.24±5.46 years. The mean number of children was 2.84±1.84. According to the results, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and perceived selfefficacy positively correlated with PC screening behaviors, and there was a significant inverse relationship between perceived barriers and PC screening behaviors. Conclusion:The use of behavioral models such as HBM can be useful to implement appropriate plans to encourage PC screening behaviors.
