Abstract
ABSTRACT Men's gender roles and norms may influence their sexual behaviors and sexual health care practices in numerous specific ways and contexts. Health professionals encourage men's performance of testicular self-exams (TSE), yet estimates of monthly TSE from convenience samples range from 2% to 10%. In this population-based study of 655 U.S. men aged 18 to 44 years, TSE prevalence during the past month was 40.3% and was predicted by geographic location, sexual behaviors, genital self-image, and having a physical exam within the past year. National TSE prevalence rates will be useful to those who work to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with testicular cancer.
