Group interventions with family, friends, or acquaintances | I would be encouraged and go for cancer screening if my children helped me. If friends or acquaintances recommended that I go for cancer screening, I would go with them. |
Various delivery methods | I would like to watch a video or documentary. I would like to read booklets with a large-size font. I prefer cancer education at church or a senior center. Smart phones would be good for cancer programs. I prefer tailored letters for my status including information on family history, disease, age, etc. |
Information content emphasizing importance of cancer prevention | I would like a cancer program to inform me that, despite having no symptoms, I need to have cancer screening. |
Convenient, free, or inexpensive services | There is a need to develop a system for people to have various inexpensive or free cancer screening tests and to use them with ease. |
Kind health care providers | Health care providers need to provide really good services to people, as if they were family, and explain my health status in detail. |
