Abstract

We implemented a home-based group educational intervention in the form of home health parties (HHPs) among Hispanic men and women in the Lower Yakima Valley of Washington State led by trained bilingual promotoras and compared participants' baseline and follow-up responses to questions related to communications about CRC screening. We also documented participants perceptions of the CRC related educational information presented as measures of effectiveness of the HHPs as well as possible indicators of their intentions to engage in timely CRC screenings. The group based educational sessions resulted in positive participants' perceptions about the benefits of the CRC related information and in improved communications about CRC screening. Results suggest the benefits of utilizing promotoras' cultural knowledge and awareness to present content about cancers such as CRC in ways that are easily understandable to Hispanic participants and that could result in improved communications and action about cancer screenings.

以promotora为主导的西班牙裔结直肠癌干预评估:与认知和沟通相关的发现。

我们在华盛顿州下亚基马山谷的西班牙裔男性和女性中实施了以家庭健康派对(HHPs)形式的家庭团体教育干预，由训练有素的双语推广人员领导，并比较了参与者对有关CRC筛查的沟通问题的基线和随访反应。我们还记录了参与者对CRC相关教育信息的看法，这些信息作为卫生保健服务有效性的衡量标准，以及他们参与及时CRC筛查的意图的可能指标。以小组为基础的教育会议使参与者对CRC相关信息的益处有了积极的认识，并改善了关于CRC筛查的沟通。结果表明，利用宣传人员的文化知识和意识，以西班牙裔参与者容易理解的方式介绍有关CRC等癌症的内容，可能会改善有关癌症筛查的沟通和行动。
