Dissemination of Cervical Cancer Screening to Primary Care Physicians in Underserved Communities

NCT00629993 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 282

Summary

Primary care physicians have an important role to play in the delivery of cancer prevention and detection services to patients. Face-to-face counseling of physicians, called academic detailing, involves a brief and focused intervention, modeled on the practices of pharmaceutical companies. This type of intervention may increase physicians' attention to preventive opportunities and increase their screening behaviors.

BEHAVIORAL

Academic Detailing

It will involve multiple intervention components, some of which are standardized across physicians (i.e., self learning packets, post-tests for CME credit, CD-ROMS, videos, newsletters, culturally sensitive patient education materials, office staff informational sessions, chart and patient reminders, and a general office routine for cervical cancer counseling, including performance feedback, as well as media-ready materials). Academic detailing and the specific office routines will be customized to each physician, although the frequency of the detailing visits will be routinized across all participants, to reduce cost and to maximize its potential for dissemination.
