Improving Compliance With Medical Testing Guidelines
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Colon Cancer, Lung Cancer
In brief
The study hypothesis is that clearer visual presentation of guideline recommendations and educational outreach, or academic detailing, can improve guideline compliance. However, it will investigate other aspects of screening-related decision-making, such as provider and patient beliefs about screening, provider-patient communication and patient's willingness to forgo expected testing. The research question is whether educational interventions can decrease non-compliance with screening guidelines for 5 common cancers.
