Abstract

Purpose

Building on a study that found that lowering the age of bowel screening for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to 40 years would be cost-effective, this research examined the acceptability of lowering the bowel screening age for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in South Australia.

Methods

Aboriginal community members aged < 50 years were recruited to form Aboriginal men’s (16 men) and women’s (nine women) bowel cancer screening councils. The councils were presented with detailed information relating to the topic and deliberated over two days.

Main findings

The men’s and women’s councils were unanimous in their support for reducing the age of bowel screening for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The councils identified barriers to reducing the age at participation, and participation in screening in general. Both councils were highly engaged in the process of the two-day deliberation.

Principal conclusions

Lowering the age range for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples participating in the bowel screening program to 40 years was acceptable to both Aboriginal bowel cancer screening councils.

将政府资助的南澳大利亚土著居民肠道筛查的资格年龄降低到40岁的社区可接受性

目的：在一项研究发现将土著和托雷斯海峡岛民的肠道筛查年龄降低到40岁具有成本效益的基础上，本研究考察了降低南澳大利亚土著和托雷斯海峡岛民肠道筛查年龄的可接受性。方法：选取年龄在<；50岁的人被招募成立土著男性（16名男性）和女性（9名女性）肠癌筛查委员会。向各理事会提交了有关该专题的详细资料，并进行了两天的审议。主要发现男性和女性委员会一致支持降低原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的肠道检查年龄。理事会确定了降低参与年龄和一般参与筛查的障碍。两个委员会都高度参与了为期两天的审议过程。主要结论将土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民参加肠道筛查项目的年龄范围降低到40岁是两个土著肠癌筛查委员会都可以接受的。
