摘要：
Background. We hypothesized that inner-city men are less knowledgeable about prostate health. Methods. The prostate cancer knowledge and screening attitudes of 100 inner-city men (median age 62±11 years) seen at a urology clinic were assessed through a 30-item questionnaire administered before and after an educational intervention. Results. Overall, intervention led to significantly better mean knowledge scores (47% before vs 80% after; P<.0001) but did not affect mean screening attitude scores. Conclusions. Although educational interventions might improve prostate cancer knowledge and screening rates among inner-city men, other approaches must also be considered.
