CD ROM BASED CANCER PREVENTION PROGRAM FOR THE WORKSITE

描述：减少烟草、酒精和膳食脂肪的消费对降低癌症发病率和死亡率有很大的希望。目前，工作场所缺乏理论上合理的项目，包括多种癌症风险行为，使用多媒体，自我管理和互动。 这项研究的目的是开发和测试一套基于光盘的健康促进材料，旨在通过减少烟草、酒精和膳食脂肪的消费来减少工人的癌症发病率。 多媒体计划将基于社会学习模式，并将包括使用吸引人的视频材料，强调健康行为的短期好处。 在第一阶段，将制定光盘和录像片段的初步结构和内容，并将在专家和目标受众的重点小组中对节目片段草稿进行测试。 将对美国各地公司的健康促进从业人员和规划人员进行抽样采访，以评估基于CD-ROM的工作场所癌症预防计划的需求和可行性。 在第二阶段，原型计划将进行严格的实地测试，相应地进行修订，并准备向工作场所营销。

DESCRIPTION: Reduction in the consumption of tobacco, alcohol and dietary fat hold great promise for reducing cancer incidence and mortality. At present, there is a dearth of programs available to the worksite that are theoretically sound, include multiple cancer risk behaviors, use multi-media, and are self-administered and interactive. The objective of the research is to develop and test a set of CD-ROM based health promotion materials designed to reduce the incidence of cancer in workers by decreasing their consumption of tobacco, alcohol and dietary fat. The multi-media program will be based on a social-learning model and will include the use of engaging, video materials that emphasize the short-term benefits of healthful behaviors. In Phase I, the preliminary structure and content of the CD-ROM and video segments will be developed and the draft program segments will be tested on focus groups of experts and target audience members. A sample of health promotion practitioners and planners in companies across the U.S. will be interviewed to assess the demand for, and feasibility of the CD-ROM based worksite cancer prevention program. In Phase II, the prototype program will be rigorously field-tested, revised accordingly and prepared for marketing to the workplace.
