Article Synopsis
- The study explores the impact of medical mistrust on prostate cancer (PCa) screening behaviors among different subgroups of Black men, including African Americans, Caribbean, and African immigrants.
- Using a mixed-methods approach, the research highlights both quantitative disparities in mistrust levels and qualitative factors influencing these attitudes, such as cultural perceptions and past negative experiences with healthcare providers.
- Results suggest that while mistrust exists, those with a family history of PCa tend to prioritize screening, indicating that personal experiences can sometimes override mistrust in seeking healthcare.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of an audio visual (AV) teaching module on basic torchlight examination of the eye and direct ophthalmoscopy for undergraduate medical students.
Methods: This observational longitudinal study was done on 33 consecutive medical interns during their Ophthalmology posting from December 2019 to March 2020 at a medical college in South-India. An AV-module was created using animation graphics, narratives, demonstrations on normal individuals and on patients with positive signs.
