Purpose : the purpose of this study was to aquire the supplemental information needed by the general public.
Materials and Method : Subjects of the study, totalling 1576, were from the three major cities of Taegu, Kwan-joo, Pusan and their surrounding districts. The subjects recruited were between the age of twenty and sixty-five. Four questionnaires for this study were developed by these researchers based on literature review and professional experience. The data were analysed by computing frequencies. percentages and testing ANCOVA in SAS program.
Results : It was noted that the knowledge level of cancer prevention and early detection for the most common cancers in Korea (stomach, lung, liver, cervical, and breast cancer) was low. Knowledge that the subjects had was correct or extremely limited. Subjects had a positive attitude about engaging in cancer prevention and early detection. They were motivated to learn more about it once they recognized cancer as being a fatal disease. Another finding is that it would be necessary to encourage an improvement in subject health habits. The percentage of subjects who had screening tests for cancer was very low. Regular screening test’s rate for the five major cancers were very rare. The majority of subjects had not undergone any diagnostic tests.
Conclusion: The results of this survey could be used as a framework for the developmental strategies of an educational program for the general population. The response of subjects was favorable, as they were willing to take preventative action independently.
