Abstract
In order to measure changes which have taken place in adult knowledge, attitudes, and behavior with respect to cancer, an analysis was made of three national surveys conducted in 1948, 1955, and 1962. Trend analyses are presented for a number of questions asked in all three surveys and indicate many changes have taken place. In addition, an age- sex cohort analysis was made of three questions which were asked in surveys conducted in 1940 and in 1962. The cohort analysis over this 22-year period demonstrates that the changes are real in that they occur within age-sex cohorts and that the overall change is not just a result of changes in the population structure.
