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

Stopped early · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Cervical Cancer

In brief

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.
