TI  - Measuring Factors Associated with Colorectal Cancer Screening among Young Adult 
      African American Men: A Psychometric Study.

AB  - The Male Role Norms, Knowledge, Attitudes, and Perceptions associated with 
      Colorectal Cancer Screening (MKAP-CRCS) survey was developed to assess the 
      attitudes, knowledge, male role norms, perceived barriers, and perceived 
      subjective norms associated with screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) among 
      young adult African American men. There is a critical need for exploring the 
      complex factors that may shape attitudes towards CRC screening among men who are 
      younger (i.e., ages 19-45) than those traditionally assessed by clinicians and 
      health promotion researchers (age 50 and older). Psychometrically sound measures 
      are crucial for eliciting valid and reliable data on these factors. The current 
      study, therefore, assessed the psychometric properties of the MKAP-CRCS 
      instrument using an online sample of young adult African American men (N = 157) 
      across the United States. Exploratory principal component factor analyses 
      revealed that the MKAP-CRCS measure yielded construct valid and reliable scores, 
      suggesting that the scale holds promise as an appropriate tool for assessing 
      factors associated with CRC screening among younger African American men. 
      Strengths and limitations of this study, along with directions for future 
      research are discussed, including the need for more research examining the 
      relationship between masculinity and CRC screening among African American men.
