Abstract:
In 2004, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) published a Grade D recommendation for both testicular self-examination (TSE) and clinical evaluation to screen for testicular cancer in asymptomatic males. This review committee reaffirmed these recommendations in 2009 and again in 2011 (Testicular Cancer: Screening Release Date: April 2011. Final Update Summary: Testicular Cancer: Screening. U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. September 2016). The 2011 USPSTF review found no significant evidence that would warrant a change from the last full review in 2004. We believe that the USPSTF erred in its assessments. As acknowledged in the task force report, testicular cancer is not believed to be preventable, and treatment of early detected testicular cancer is generally associated with very favorable outcomes; it is our belief therefore that every encouragement should be given to early detection. We are therefore requesting that the USPSTF review the D rating for testicular examination, both in a clinical setting and as self-examination. We are requesting this, as recent studies and public health warrant a change in grade. The new studies build on earlier studies that support the benefits of regular screening by individuals and their physicians. Further, and equally important, we believe that the current grade and attendant information confuses men and boys about the importance of self-care and wellness and continues to inadvertently reinforce negative cultural attitudes. We believe that adjusting the rating to a Grade B is both warranted and necessary.

Abstract:
Testicular self-examination (TSE) is an important behaviour to prevent the development of testicular cancer. This thesis examined the stages of decision making, emotions, perceived costs and benefits of screening, the self perceptions, social influences, and health routines in samples of adult males and adolescent school boys. A multi-method approach was adopted involving qualitative and quantitative methods of study. The qualitative part of the investigation comprised a series of studies including focus groups, in-depth interviews, programme evaluation and survey studies. The aim was to elucidate the meanings associated with health and illness and preventive cancer screening. Such information formed the bases for developing a survey measure and a health promotion programme to promote TSE. A comparative cross-sectional approach, including the components of three social cognition models was then carried out revealing a hybrid model (HSCM) to be most effective in explaining TSE. Acknowledging traditional social cognitions as predictors of TSE decision making, it also stresses the importance of emotional cognitions, self perceptions and routine behaviours. Using a five-stage model building approach, a longitudinal examination of stages of decision making was also carried out. Logistic analysis revealed that much of the variation in TSE practice was explained by a planning stage, implicating a two-stage motivation and volition stage rather than a five-stage model. In addition to explaining the characteristics associated with TSE practice and elucidating a stage approach to decision making, a draft health promotion programme was developed and evaluated. Two forms of the programme, a booklet and a seminar, were appraised and deemed effective as motivators of preventive action. Findings are discussed in terms of theory and practice of health education. The implications of the findings for health psychology are also discussed.

Abstract:
Based on Kim Witte's proven Extended Parallel Process Model, a mobile communication system was developed in which men were sent reminders about their health. This study focused on reminding men about testicular self-examination (TSE), a proactive behavior used to detect testicular cancer, through the use of text messaging. A cohort of 75 men were recruited for this study and placed into one of four groups. All participants were provided with information concerning TSE and told to perform the exam monthly; two of the four groups were sent reminders via text message while the other two groups were told once about the behavior. An original 30-item survey was used to measure intention. Proper data analysis could not be performed due to an attrition rate of 71%. Nonetheless, a significant relationship was observed between pre- and post-test adherence as reported by the participants. In addition, the measurement tool was assessed and determined to be useful in measuring intention to perform TSE. Internal consistency measures were reported as 0.672 and 0.626, both of which would have been higher with a larger sample size. While further research and analysis is recommended, this study has laid a foundation for a way to communicate with young men about their health.

Abstract:
Public Health
Ph.D.
The primary aim of this research was the development of a typology of respondents based on their "control identity"– i.e., perceived sense of control over themselves, their environment, and aspects of their health, including perceived vulnerability to disease and perceived value of health promotion. Testicular cancer and testicular self examination (TSE) were selected as the disease focus, with the realization that, if successful, the typology could be applied across a variety of diseases. The constructs of "realistic vs. unrealistic control" and "internal vs. external locus of control" provided the theoretical foundation to initially define the control-identity types that were then verified through cluster/segmentation analyses. Testicular cancer rates are rising among 15-54 year old men with the majority of those cases affecting males under the age of 35. Regular screening techniques for the disease, most notably testicular self-examination, are rarely performed among surveyed males. If testicular cancer is caught in its early stages, the survival rate is approximately 95%; however, if diagnosed in later stages, survival rates drop below 50%. The lack of published psychosocial behavioral research in this area has contributed to a general misunderstanding by men of the disease and its preventative/screening measures. If continued, this lack of screening for testicular cancer can only lead to increasing incidence and mortality rates. This exploratory study developed a Control Identity Survey, a 41-item questionnaire soliciting information on perceived vulnerability, value of health promotion, health control beliefs, and intention to perform testicular self-examination (TSE). The survey was administered via in-person and internet data collection methods to 300 men between the ages of 18-35. A principal components factor analysis of the survey’s key control variables (realistic vs. unrealistic illusory control constructs and internal v. external locus of control) defined the underlying structure of the data. The resulting factors were then used to create indices for use in the cluster analysis process. From this cluster analysis, control-identity groups were identified and profiled. Given the control-identity types, perceptual mapping techniques were then applied to model how each type of respondent perceives their vulnerability to testicular cancer, the value of testicular self-examination, and overall health control beliefs. This study equated perceptions with an individuals’ ‘outcome expectancy’, or attitude. The findings confirmed the following: •The hypothesized four-group control-identity typology was verified among men based on the variables of health control beliefs, perceived vulnerability, and perceived value of health promotion. The groups were labeled: 1) Realistic Externals, 2) Realistic Internals, 3) Unrealistic Internals, 4) Unrealistic Externals. •Unrealistic Externals perceive the value of TSE to be significantly lower than other types. •Unrealistic Externals perceived their control over health outcomes to be lower than all other types. •Each control-identity type structures perceptions of health control beliefs, vulnerability, and the value of health promotion similarly in a 3-dimensional perceptual mapping space, but the location of “self” within the concept set differs by control-identity type. •Realistic Internals scored the highest among types on value of health promotion, but not significantly so compared to the other groups, with the exception of the Unrealistic Externals, who least value health promotion. •The two “Realistic” types (Internal & External) scored significantly higher on perceived Vulnerability than did the two "Unrealistic" types (Internal & External), with the "Internals" v. "Externals" not differing significantly. •Unrealistic Internals scored highest on perceived self-efficacy (I-Control), but not significantly higher than Realistic Internals, which appears consistent with the fact that "internals" have a higher sense of health-related self-efficacy than do "externals". •Implications for social marketing and for the development of future behavioral intervention strategies are suggested. The methods used in this research could have wide application across the cancer continuum from primary prevention and screening to treatment and end-of-life decisions. From this research, it is clear that men differ significantly in their “control identity”-- the extent to which they perceive themselves as having an internal v. external and/or realistic vs. unrealistic sense of control over their health. Consistently, the control-types differed on perceptions of their own vulnerability to disease, their perceived value of health promotion, and their individual health control beliefs. The resulting typology appears to have exceptional potential for future research across a variety of health related behaviors and diseases. As well, the typology holds promise as a cost-effective way to tailor evidence-based decision aids for each of the control-identities. Since there is little reported success in promoting sustainable TSE among males, it is suggested that building on the control-identity approach will aid testicular cancer and TSE researchers in developing more effective, tailored messages for their study designs.

Abstract:
Designs and Samples. Four questionnaire-based studies were conducted: one prospective study with 67 adults, followed up at three months; and three cross-sectional studies with sample sizes of 136, 147 and 283. Each study included female and male participants, who were aged 20 or over and lived in Great Britain. Measures. A range of individual differences were measured within the four studies. These included health locus of control beliefs, coping responses, general anxiety, anxiety in relation to health and to performing self-examinations, worry about breast or testicular cancer, perceived breast or testicular cancer risk, dispositional optimism, health optimism, and socially desirable responding. In addition, female participants provided self-reports of their breast self-examination behaviour and in the final study, whether or not they were ‘breast aware’; while male participants gave self-reports of their testicular self-examination behaviour. Results. Multiple regression analyses revealed that worry about breast or testicular cancer and anxiety about performing self-examinations operated as the most consistent independent predictors of self-examination behaviour. In addition, ANCOVAs showed that perceived breast or testicular cancer risk and dispositional optimism were significantly associated with self-examination frequency. Across the four studies, associations between the individual differences and adults’ self-examination behaviour were generally evidenced as being similar for females and males. Utilising data from the final study, a model of individual differences and breast or testicular self-examination behaviour was constructed and proposed. Conclusions. The present research has demonstrated associations between a number of individual differences and breast or testicular self-examination. These findings indicate the potential impact of individual differences on adults’ self-examination behaviour.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to explore college students' breast and testicular cancer self-examination beliefs and practices using constructs of the Health Belief Model. Over a 1.6 million Americans are diagnosed each year with cancer. With that, over 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer while nearly 8,000 men will develop testicular cancer. If cancer is diagnosed and treated in the early stages, it will greatly increase the chance of survival and quality of life. One of the easiest methods to discover cancer early is to perform self-examinations. Self-examinations are safe, quick, private, and do not require a visit to the doctor. This study will explain reasons why some college students perform breast (for women) and testicular (for men) self-examinations while others choose not to perform self-examinations. A survey of 386 (202 female and 184 male) college students was conducted at a midsize university located in the Midwest. Participants were asked to complete Champion's Health Belief Model Scale. In addition, participants were asked to complete two open-ended survey questions regarding their self-examinations beliefs and behaviors. Overall, 129 (34%) participants performed self-examinations. Of those 129, females were more likely to perform self-examinations than males. In addition, females were also more likely to be taught how to perform self-examinations. Participants were more likely to perform self-examinations if felt susceptible to developing cancer and if they felt comfortable in their ability to properly perform one. Finally, participants were also more likely to perform self-examinations if they were given a cue to action (i.e. their doctor told them to or a relative had cancer). The significance of the data will help educators and health care professionals develop health programming to address the barriers that keep college students from performing self-examinations. In particular, there needs to be tailored programming for males because they are more susceptible to developing testicular cancer during their college years than any other time in their lives. Finally, a social marketing campaign could be an easy intervention to reach the masses. A Social marketing campaign would be a beneficial way to raise awareness, educate students on cancer in college, and show the simple steps in performing self-examinations.

Abstract:
Trabalho Final do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina apresentado à Faculdade de Medicina
Introdução: O cancro do testículo (CT) corresponde ao tumor sólido mais frequente em homens entre os 18-35 anos de idade e tem uma sobrevivência global aos 5 anos de 99% na doença localizada. Existe uma perceção geral de que subsiste uma falta de conhecimento significativa sobre a doença dentro desta população. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo determinar o conhecimento da população universitária Portuguesa sobre o CT.Métodos: Neste estudo transversal, 871 estudantes universitários responderam a um questionário online relativamente às suas perceções sobre o CT. Foram questionados sobre a faixa etária com maior risco para CT e sobre a deteção, o prognóstico e o impacto da doença na qualidade de vida dos doentes, bem como sinais e sintomas comuns da doença. Os participantes do sexo masculino foram questionados sobre sua prática de autoexame testicular. Por fim, foram questionados sobre suas motivações para aprender mais sobre o assunto e o método de comunicação preferido.Resultados: 89,2% (n = 777) dos alunos já ouviram falar em CT, mas apenas 31,8% sabiam a faixa etária de risco. Os alunos foram capazes de reconhecer um nódulo testicular palpável como um sinal comum (90,2%) de CT, mas o score calculado de conhecimento geral sobre a doença foi baixo. A prática do autoexame testicular é reduzida, com apenas 53 homens (n = 275) realizando o autoexame mensalmente. A grande maioria (90,9%) demonstrou interesse em saber mais sobre o diagnóstico precoce de CT e sobre o autoexame testicular. Profissionais / serviços de saúde (73,8%) e Internet / Redes sociais (69%) foram as fontes preferenciais de informação mais relatadas.Conclusão: Concluímos que os jovens do sexo masculino possuem pouco conhecimento sobre CT, e a maioria ainda não pratica o autoexame testicular mensalmente. Futuras campanhas de consciencialização e intervenções educacionais são necessárias para aumentar a compreensão sobre a doença.
Background: Testicular cancer (TC) is the most frequent tumor in males between 18-35 years old and has a 5-year survival rate of 99% in localized disease. Within this populations there is a general perception there is significant lack of knowledge about this disease. Thus, this study aims to determine the knowledge about TC amongst Portuguese university students.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 871 university students answered an online questionnaire on their perceptions about TC. They were inquired about the age-risk group for TC and detection, prognosis and impact of the disease on patients' quality of life, as well as common signs and symptoms. Male participants were also asked about their testicular self-exam (TSE) practice. Lastly, they were questioned about their motivations to learn more about the subject and preferred method of communication.Results: 89,2% (n=777) of students had heard of TC, but only 31,8% knew the age-risk group. Students were able to recognize a palpable testicular nodule as a common (90,2%) sign of TC, but the general knowledge score was still low. TSE practice was also low, with only 53 males (n=275) performing TSE monthly. The vast majority (90,9%) were interested in learning more about TSE and TC early diagnosis. Health professionals/facilities (73,8%) and Internet/Social media (69%) were the most reported preferable sources of information.Conclusion: We conclude that young males have poor knowledge about TC, and most still do not practice TSE monthly. Future awareness campaigns and educational interventions are needed to increase consciousness about the disease.
