Summary: This study found that Latino patients in community health centers in the United States were more likely to receive stool-based screening tests for colorectal cancer than non-Hispanic Whites, but they were less likely to receive endoscopy referrals, even with a positive stool-based screening test. Initiatives to improve colorectal cancer outcomes in Latino populations should focus on promoting indicated referrals for lower gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Summary: The study examined the factors influencing cervical cancer screening behaviors and found that self-efficacy was positively associated with high-frequency screening, while social media engagement had a negative impact on guideline-concordant screening. The study also highlighted the importance of addressing screening disparities caused by environmental factors and the digital divide.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of a cancer screening program on the long-term survival of gastric cancer patients in Korea. The results show that screened patients have a higher survival rate compared to never-screened patients. Specifically, patients who underwent upper endoscopy had a lower risk of gastric cancer-specific mortality compared to those who underwent upper gastrointestinal series. Furthermore, patients who were screened within 2 years before diagnosis had a 35% reduction in gastric cancer death risk.

Summary: Cervical cancer screening faces opposition from partners and families in low- and middle-income countries. This study found that Indian men had poor knowledge and awareness about cervical cancer and screening, tended towards a negative attitude, and perceived structural barriers. However, their attitude towards screening and routine participation significantly predicted their intention to support their wives' screening. Education moderated the association between knowledge and awareness and the intention to support wives' screening.

Summary: This study used photovoice to explore the experiences and attitudes of rural Latino men towards health. It found that cultural conflict, too much and discordant information, lifestyles conflict, sacrifice, and family connectedness were important themes for these men. The lack of family and community connections may have an impact on their physical and mental health and health-promoting behaviors. Future research should focus on community and family-level interventions to better connect rural Latino men to their families and local communities and help them take control of their health.

Summary: National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is associated with increased public interest in colorectal cancer based on Google search trends, but it has not resulted in a significant increase in screening rates. There is an opportunity to use this increased public interest to encourage more individuals to undergo screening.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the demand for sigmoidoscopy by analyzing the preferences of the German general population for CRC screening through a discrete choice experiment. Preference data will be collected from 4000 members aged 50-60 of the statutory health insurance company in Lower Saxony, and analyzed using conditional logit regression models and latent class models. The study results will be disseminated through conference presentations, peer-reviewed journal publications, and the membership magazine of AOK Lower Saxony.

Summary: This study explores the impact of Australian masculinities and culture on men's mental health. Through focus group discussions with men living in New South Wales, three themes were identified: a history of strength and self-reliance, social and geographical divides, and male socialization and generational dissidence. Participants' perspectives provide valuable insights for understanding challenges and promoting men's mental health. Gender transformative program strategies are proposed to encourage help-seeking and enhance men's mental well-being.
