abstract 5582 survey of oral cancer screening participants reveals widespread misconceptions about oral cancer risk factors independent of Educational Background
Cancer Research, 2015Co-Authors: Cariad Chester, Jean Sabile, Grace Cho, Ryoko Hamaguchi, Lauren Ellis, Jonathan S Erdman, David Praharaj, Abhinav Golla, John B SunwooAbstract:Introduction: To develop more effective strategies to screen for oral cancer, we surveyed participants in a free oral cancer-screening event held at Stanford University to assess knowledge and understanding of oral cancer risk factors and behaviors. Method: The survey was administered by trained members of the oral cancer screening team in accordance with guidelines approved by the Stanford Research Compliance Office. Results: Participants (n = 51) were racially diverse with varied Educational levels: approximately 43% of participants had completed high school only or attended some college, and 57% of participants had obtained a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree. A majority of the participants (62%) reported an annual income below $50,000, and a minority of participants (35%) had active dental insurance. Most of the participants (84%) had never previously been screened for oral cancer. All participants, regardless of Educational level, demonstrated limited knowledge of the risk factors that contribute to oral cancer. Approximately 50% of the lower-education cohort and 31% of the higher-education cohort incorrectly believed that dental fillings increase the risk of developing oral cancer. Only 23% and 34% of the lower- and higher-education cohorts, respectively, correctly identified heavy alcohol consumption as a risk factor for oral cancer. Encouragingly, 85% of all participants recognized that behavioral changes can decrease one9s risk of developing cancer. Conclusions: Knowledge of oral cancer risk factors was low in all participants despite the majority of responders having obtained post-secondary degrees. Our work highlights the need to expand the target audience of oral cancer Educational efforts to include community members from all Educational Backgrounds.

the impact of higher education on entrepreneurial intentions of university students in china
Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development, 2008Co-Authors: Sizong Wu, Lingfei WuAbstract:Purpose – The aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between Chinese university students' higher Educational Background and their entrepreneurial intentions.Design/methodology/approach – The TPB model was adopted and tested for the formation of Chinese university students' entrepreneurial intentions using structural equation modeling. Data were collected from students of Tongji University in Shanghai, China.Findings – The main results of this empirical research suggest that diversity of Educational Background offers plausible explanations on the difference of entrepreneurial intentions of Chinese university students. Higher Educational institutions should develop more flexible approaches with focus on different groups of students in accordance with their various Educational Backgrounds.Practical implications – In response to the change of graduate labour market and the quest for sustainable competitive advantage in China, higher Educational institutions have to integrate the change of mind...

referral to cancer genetic counseling do migrant status and patients Educational Background matter
Journal of Community Genetics, 2017Co-Authors: J A M Van Der Giessen, E Van Riel, M E Velthuizen, A M Van Dulmen, Margreet G E M AusemsAbstract:Participation rates in cancer genetic counseling differ among populations, as patients with a lower Educational Background and migrant patients seem to have poorer access to it. We conducted a study to determine the present-day Educational level and migrant status of counselees referred to cancer genetic counseling. We assessed personal characteristics and demographics of 731 newly referred counselees. Descriptive statistics were used to describe these characteristics. The results show that about 40% of the counselees had a high Educational level and 89% were Dutch natives. Compared to the Dutch population, we found a significant difference in Educational level (p = < 0.01) and migrant status (p = < 0.001). This suggests disparities in cancer genetic counseling and as a result of that, suboptimal care for vulnerable groups. Limited health literacy is likely to pose a particular challenge to cancer genetic counseling for counselees with a lower education or a migrant Background. Our study points to considerable scope for improvement in referring vulnerable groups of patients for cancer genetic counseling.

doctors in a southeast asian country communicate sub optimally regardless of patients Educational Background
Patient Education and Counseling, 2011Co-Authors: Mora Claramita, Jan Van Dalen, Cees P M Van Der VleutenAbstract:Abstract Objective To explore the relationship between the style of doctor–patient communication and patients’ Educational Background in a Southeast Asian teaching hospital setting using the Roter Interaction Analysis System (RIAS). Methods We analyzed a total of 245 audio-taped consultations involving 30 internal medicine residents with 7–10 patients each in the internal medicine outpatient clinics. The patients were categorized into a group with a high and a group with a low Educational level. We ranked the data into 41 RIAS utterances and RIAS-based composite categories in order of observed frequency during consultations. Results The residents invariantly used a paternalistic style irrespective of patients’ Educational Background. The RIAS utterances and the composite categories show no significant relationship between communication style and patients’ Educational level. Conclusion Doctors in a Southeast Asian country use a paternalistic communication style during consultations, regardless of patients’ Educational Background. Practice implication To approach a more partnership doctor–patient communication, culture and clinical environment concern of Southeast Asian should be further investigated.
