CCHW-delivered CFH-based Cancer Prevention Program Among Chinese Americans

Participants reported how often they learned about and discussed their cancer family health history with family members and healthcare providers. Items were rated from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Higher scores indicate more frequent family health history communication.

Average-risk participants reported whether they had completed recommended cancer screenings. Screening completion was coded as yes or no based on whether the participant met the applicable screening recommendation.

Participants who reported smoking indicated the average number of cigarettes smoked per day. Lower values indicate lower tobacco consumption.

Participants reported the average number of minutes of moderate aerobic exercise performed per week. Higher values indicate more physical activity.

Participants reported the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed per week. One drink was defined as approximately 12 oz of beer, 5 oz of wine, or 1.5 oz of spirits. Lower values indicate lower alcohol consumption.

Participants reported average daily fruit and vegetable intake using an 8-category scale ranging from 1 (less than 0.5 cup per day) to 8 (4 cups or more per day). Higher scores indicate greater fruit and vegetable intake.

Participants reported average weekly consumption of red meat, processed meat, salty foods, preserved foods, and high-temperature cooked meat. Consumption was expressed as the number of palm-sized servings per week, with one palm-sized serving representing approximately 3 ounces of food. Lower values indicate lower consumption.

Participants reported the frequency of cancer-related cooking practices, including high-temperature cooking, deep frying, and use of an Asian-style kitchen range hood. Items were rated from 1 (never) to 5 (always).

Participants reported the frequency of environmental and occupational exposures to chemicals associated with lung and liver cancer. Items were rated from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Higher scores indicate more frequent exposure.

Body mass index was calculated from participant-reported height and weight as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m^2).

Among participants identified as having increased cancer risk based on their reported family health history, this outcome measured the number who reported visiting a genetics provider for genetic counseling, genetic risk evaluation, or genetic testing within three months after the intervention.

Participants rated their satisfaction with the cancer prevention services provided by their community health worker on a 4-point scale from 1 (very unsatisfied) to 4 (very satisfied). Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.

Participants answered questions assessing cancer family health history knowledge and cancer risk. Each correct response was coded as 1, and incorrect or "not sure" responses were coded as 0. The mean of the item scores was calculated, resulting in a score ranging from 0 to 1. Higher scores indicate greater knowledge.

Participants rated their awareness of communicating cancer family health history and cancer screenings. Items were rated from 1 (never heard of it) to 4 (have heard of it). Higher scores indicate greater awareness.

Participants rated their attitudes toward communicating cancer family health history and taking recommended cancer screenings. Items were rated from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). Higher scores indicate more favorable attitudes.

Participants rated their intention to communicate their cancer family health history and follow recommended cancer screenings. Items were rated from 1 (very unlikely) to 4 (very likely). Higher scores indicate stronger intention.

Participants rated their confidence in communicating cancer family health history and following cancer screening recommendations. Items were rated from 0 (not confident at all) to 10 (completely confident). Higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy.
