Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Oral and pharyngeal cancers are treatable when diagnosed early.
  • Late diagnosis is common due to delayed oral cancer examinations.
  • High-risk individuals, such as smokers, often delay these crucial screenings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify predictors for scheduling oral cancer examinations.
  • To identify predictors for attending oral cancer examinations.
  • To understand barriers among high-risk Black and White men.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 315 high-risk men in rural Florida participated.
  • Participants received education on oral cancer and completed surveys.
  • Follow-up calls assessed reasons for attending or not attending examinations.

Main Results:

  • Scheduling was predicted by defensive avoidance and exam efficacy.
  • Attending was predicted by exam efficacy, coping resources, time, and transportation.
  • Reasons for missing exams included conflicting obligations, forgetting, and confusion.

Conclusions:

  • Scheduling and attending oral cancer exams are distinct decisions.
  • Interventions can be tailored to increase both scheduling and attendance.
  • Addressing psychological and logistical factors is key for early detection.
