The aims of this project are to adapt and extend the use of academic detailing to the dissemination of prostate cancer (CaP) screening findings to primary care physicians practicing in African American communities. The objectives of this study are:
1. To test the hypothesis that a community physician-based educational intervention (multi-component academic detailing, including an interactive, digitized, web-based program for informed decision-making about prostate cancer, and patient education materials designed for low literacy patients) will increase physician knowledge, positive attitudes/beliefs toward screening and screening options, and prostate cancer screening (using the digital rectal exam, and the serum prostate specific antigen test) at baseline, 6-, and 12-months post- randomization, compared to the rate observed in a service- as-usual control.
1A. To demonstrate the feasibility of disseminating the American Cancer Society guidelines for prostate cancer screening among primary care practitioners using multi-component academic detailing.
2. To develop models predicting which physician offices are most and least likely to adopt the intervention, and to generate hypotheses about tailoring the dissemination of PC screening guidelines to different physician subgroups.
The long term goal of this project is to increase prostate cancer screening among African American communities, thus decreasing cancer-related morbidity and mortality.
