This study seeks to change the skin examination practices of primary care physicians by developing the Basic Skin Cancer Triage curriculum into a Web-based course and to evaluate its efficacy in a geographically diverse sample of community-based primary care physicians.
This study is designed to evaluate communication between cancer patients and clinicians through the development and evaluation of a PDA-based patient communication intervention for breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment. The intervention is comprised of two integrated components: symptom monitoring and tailored patient communication training.
The overall goal of this project is to assess the feasibility of a behavioral intervention delivered by lay health advisers. Focus group members provide information that will be used to understand community perceptions of the association between sexual behavior and cancer risk, and will also review models of the educational materials to be used in a later intervention phase of the study.
