To assess the level of health literacy on cancer prevention and control and its influencing factors among residents in Sichuan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for optimizing health education strategies on cancer prevention and control.
In April 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to recruit 28 163 permanent residents aged 15-69 from 21 cities (prefectures) in Sichuan Province for a cross-sectional survey. The χ2 test was used to analyze the differences among different groups, and the multivariate Logistic regression model was employed to explore the influencing factors of cancer prevention and control literacy.
After weighted adjustment, the overall literacy level of cancer prevention and control among residents in Sichuan Province was 45.16%. There were differences in the literacy levels of various dimensions. Specifically, the literacy levels for cancer awareness, cancer prevention, early diagnosis and treatment, cancer management, and cancer rehabilitation were 37.45%, 48.74%, 63.40%, 79.04%,and 39.22%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that residents aged 25-69, with an educational level of junior high school or above, working in government/public institutions, holding urban household registration, with an annual household income of ≥50 000 RMB, non-smokers, and with self-rated health statuses of poor, fair, or good were more likely to possess cancer prevention and control literacy. Conversely, residents with a household size of 4 or more, and those without a family history of cancer were less likely to possess such literacy. All these findings were statistically significant (P<0.05).
The literacy level among residents in Sichuan Province still needs to be improved, requiring enhanced public education on primary cancer prevention and rehabilitation management knowledge, with targeted awareness campaigns for key populations.
