Problem-solving in technology-rich environments and cancer screening in later life

This study examined the association between problem-solving skills in the technology-rich environment and cancer screening in later life. Using 2012/2014 Program for International Assessment of Adult Competencies data, binary logistic regressions with survey weights were used to estimate the association between problem-solving skills in the technology-rich environment and four cancer screening behaviors among the corresponding target populations aged between 45 and 74 years old (n = 1374 for cervical screening; n = 1373 for breast screening; n = 1166 for prostate screening; n = 2563 for colon screening). Results showed that greater problem-solving skills in the technology-rich environment scores (0–500 points) were significantly and positively associated with prostate cancer screening (odds ratio = 1.005, P
