Web-based Education on Oral Cancer for Primary Care Physicians in Ohio
23 mars 2015 uppdaterad av: Creighton University
Objective:
The experimental design is a one-site, randomized experimental web-based educational feasibility intervention trial, with approximately 50% primary care physicians (PCPs) in the intervention group and approximately 50% PCPs on the control group, giving a total of 159 participants. All 159 participants have willingly provided their e-mail addresses, as part of a survey they previously completed entitled, "Survey of Health Professionals on Oral Cancer in Ohio- Intervention to Prevent Delayed Diagnosis of Oral Cancer."

Index of knowledge of diagnostic procedure for oral cancer
Tidsram: An average of 8 months from the time of the initial email sent on 7/21/11.
|
The list of participants will be sent an initial email inviting them to view the module and complete a pre test (control group) or a post test (intervention group).
Reminder emails will be sent every 2 months for up to 6 months following the initial email.
It is expected that at least a 15% higher proportion of Intervention group PCPs will attain the high score category for each of this index, as compared to the Control group PCPs.

To determine if a change in Stage of Diagnosis of Oral Cancer occurred for the particular year of Web-based Educational Intervention.
Tidsram: 3 years
|
Three years post-web-based education intervention data will be requested from Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System (OCISS).
OCISS's cleaning and processing of the data takes approximately three years.
Comparison using Chi-square will be carried out pre- and post- intervention years.
