OBJECTIVE: To test the Sociocultural Health Behavior Model in relation to the health behavior of prostate cancer (PCa) screening among Chinese American men. METHODS: Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model analyses were conducted among Chinese American men. RESULTS: The path analysis supported the components of the sociocultural model and indicated a positive and significant relationship between PCa screening and the enabling factors; between cultural factors and predisposing, enabling, and access/satisfaction with health care factors; and between enabling factors and access/satisfaction with health care. CONCLUSIONS: The model highlights the significance that sociocultural factors play in relation to PCa screening.
