ABSTRACT
Men require prostate cancer (Pca) knowledge to practice health-seeking behaviours. Nine hundred seventy-nine men participated in a Pca screening programme comprising IPSS, bother score and health belief questionnaire. Men with private insurance had greater knowledge. Forty-nine percent (481) assessed their health status as average. Seventy-five percent (735) visited the GP at least once per year. The majority (576) felt well informed about health matters. Fifty-five percent (542) knew the prostate location but only 319 (33%) could identify it on a diagram. Forty-one percent (401) could not name a symptom. Few knew risk factors but 98% would attend a Pca screening clinic and sought more information. Men lack knowledge to pursue healthier behaviours and should be targeted possibly through a men's health initiative.
