Description
Morad Salah, Mirna Chahine, and seven co-authors survey Lebanese men on prostate cancer awareness. Their study, from twenty twenty-four, uses an online questionnaire. Eight hundred forty-four men replied between twenty twenty-one's spring and winter. Knowledge, attitudes, and screening practice were scored on set item lists.
Under five percent showed adequate knowledge of the disease. Schooling level and having heard of the cancer lifted knowledge scores. About forty percent held an adequate attitude. Word from a doctor and advice to screen both helped attitudes. Practice, such as taking the blood test, lagged as well. The gaps point to clear targets for health campaigns.
