Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the lack of culturally tailored belief scales for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among Korean Americans (KAs), aiming to improve understanding of their cultural beliefs related to health.
- Through a two-phase process, researchers adapted and validated existing instruments, which involved translating materials and conducting interviews, ultimately testing the instruments on 202 KAs to ensure they accurately reflect Korean cultural perspectives.
- The results confirmed that KAs have distinct cultural beliefs affecting CRC screening, suggesting that the revised instruments can help create effective, culturally sensitive interventions to promote screening within this community.
