An Assessment of the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Awareness of US Men Toward Their Own Health and Utilization of Healthcare
Abstract
Objective/Introduction: The representatives at MiOra express interest in spreading awareness of men’s health within the United States. The purpose of this study is to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of adult men residing in the United States regarding their own health and utilization of healthcare services. Researchers aim to gain insights into the diverse range of men’s perspectives on personal health, healthcare behaviors, and use of resources. Neglecting preventative care hinders early identification of potential health issues as well as financial concerns can contribute to the delay in seeking healthcare services.
Methods: MiOra investigators developed a Google Forms survey with both open-ended and multiple-choice questions translated in English and Spanish. Health ambassadors conducted research outreach both face to face and virtually to 254 adult men. Data was collected on US adult men’s demographics, perception of health, and behaviors towards the utilization of healthcare. Data will be analyzed by calculating chi-square analysis, frequencies, and percentages.
Results:?
Conclusions: The purpose of surveying the male population in the US is to collect information about their knowledge and awareness of personal health. MiOra’s survey also examines healthcare utilization and financial status as factors that can heavily impact men’s health. Other factors such as marital status, employment status, and zip code can affect men’s personal health perception and whether they will take initiative to prevent health concerns. This data allows MiOra to address disparities and create possible interventions policies to address health concerns in underrepresented male populations.
