Summary

Health screening is proven to be effective in reducing morbidity, death and healthcare cost. However, the uptake of health screening is low particularly in men. In the earlier phase of this project, a web-based intervention (ScreenMen) to increase health screening uptake in men was developed based on theories, evidence and user needs. It was tested with experts and users for its utility and usability.

In this phase, a randomised controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of ScreenMen in improving health screening knowledge \& uptake in men. Healthy men, who have not gone for screening in the past 1 year will be recruited via Facebook to participate in this RCT. The participants will be randomised to receive or not to receive ScreenMen. Knowledge and intention to screen will be measured immediately post-intervention. All participants will be followed up at 1 month and 3 months to measure knowledge, intention and actual uptake of screening.
