Differences in perceived benefits of early cancer detection among racial\/ethnic groups may affect cancer-screening behaviors.

Multivariate analyses show that perceived benefit of early cancer detection is associated with higher cancer knowledge and having discussed one's cancer risk with a doctor.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Given that 5-year survival rates for early stage breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer range from 84% to 93%, our data suggest that a substantial proportion of African American women in South Los Angeles are not aware of the benefits of early detection, particularly of colorectal and cervical cancers. Programs that increase cancer knowledge and encourage a discussion of individual's cancer risk with a doctor may be able to increase perceived benefit of early detection, a construct that has been shown to be associated with cancer screening in some studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/jwh.2014.5049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,1]],"date-time":"2015-07-01T17:15:21Z","timestamp":1435770921000},"page":"755-761","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Understanding Perceived Benefit of Early Cancer Detection: Community-Partnered Research with African American Women in South Los Angeles"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Mohsen","family":"Bazargan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Charles R.
