  • Title: Limited impact of testicular self-examination promotion.
    Author: Sheley JP, Kinchen EW, Morgan DH, Gordon DF.
    Journal: J Community Health; 1991 Apr; 16(2):117-24. PubMed ID: 1856310.
    Abstract:
    Analysis of data obtained through a survey of 415 men in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Rochester, New York, indicates that the transfer of testicular self-examination (TSE) skills from the medical community to the public has been relatively ineffective. Only two of every 100 respondents reported monthly self-examination performed at the correct time and with the proper method. The findings suggest that, until the transfer of self-detection skills is improved, one cannot assess the efficacy of the technology itself. Problems impeding such improvement are reviewed.
