MethodWe conducted a cross-sectional study of medical students at UCLA School of Medicine in April 2000 and entering students in August 2000 using a cancer prevention and detection survey adapted from the one devised at Boston University. 7 In addition to answering 30 multiple-choice and true—false questions assessing knowledge of cancer prevention, students rated their levels of competence in counseling for smoking prevention, smoking cessation, sun protection, and healthy nutrition, and in performing skin, breast, Pap smear, and digital rectal screening examinations. Knowledge and self-perceived competencies in counseling and screening skills were the three outcome variables of interest. Students also reported on the numbers of times they had practiced, observed, or received direct instruction in targeted cancer prevention skills.
