Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), 2005 (ICPSR 24383)
Released/updated on: 2009-04-13
Geographic coverage: United States
The Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) collects nationally representative data about the American public's access to and use of cancer-related information. The 2005 HINTS survey is the second in an ongoing biannual series and provided information on the changing patterns, needs, and behavior in seeking and supplying cancer information, and explored how cancer risks are perceived. A series of questions addressed colon, lung, cervical, and breast cancer, the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and respondents' familiarity with cancer screening procedures such as mammogram, colonoscopy, and the PSA test. Specific questions were also posed about the relationship between cancer, diet, and exercise. Information was also gathered on physical and mental health status, participation in community organizations, smoking history, how often respondents ate fruits and vegetables, and whether they had health insurance. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, education level, employment status, marital status, household income, frequency of religious attendance, number of people in the household, ownership of residence, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), and whether respondents were born in the United States.

Prostate Cancer Risk in Young Black Men Study, United States, 2015-2016 (ICPSR 37985)
Released/updated on: 2021-03-03
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2015-10-01--2016-02-25
The Prostate Cancer Risk in Young Black Men Study (PCRBM) is a qualitative study using interviews and focus groups with Black males at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) to understand prostate cancer risk and knowledge among this group. Inclusion criteria for participants in the study were: (a) currently enrolled in the university being studied, (b) self-identify as African American or Black, and (c) male. Because the male population at this HBCU was a smaller group, they were recruited using their campus email. The study was conducted from October 2015 through February 2016. Focus group and interview questions were developed based on the Health Belief Model. Questions covered masculinity, healthy and unhealthy behaviors, barriers to health, and prostate cancer.

The Restore 2 study was a clinical trial designed to test the effectiveness of a comprehensive online rehabilitation program designed for gay and bisexual men in rehabilitation from prostate cancer treatment. Participants were included in the study if they identified as gay or bisexual, or had had sex with a man at any point in their lives. Eligible participants had also been diagnosed with prostate cancer with treatment (eg prostatectomy or radiation) completed, ongoing, or scheduled within 1-2 months of baseline. Topics covered by this dataset include sexual functioning, urinary functioning, and mental and physical health.
