REINVENTING 5 A DAY TESTED INTERVENTIONS WITH TECHNOLOGY

描述：互联网、基于网络的技术具有巨大的潜力，可以广泛和迅速地扩展癌症预防交流。虽然基于网络的技术并不普遍，但它正在迅速增长，是预防癌症的宝贵工具。与家庭相比，工作场所对计算机和WWW技术的访问要高得多。WWW健康教育在工作场所的应用现在可以成功了。在所有与癌症预防相关的饮食因素中，研究证据最一致的是癌症风险与水果和蔬菜消费之间的负相关。我们将制作一个基于网络的多媒体工作场所5天计划的原型，为工作场所健康专业人员提供计算机资源，并为员工提供教育活动和交流功能。该多媒体计划将基于AMC癌症研究中心(AMC)和弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心(FHCRC)的研究人员在NCI资助的R01项目中开发的成功的WorkSite-a-day干预措施。健康系统合作伙伴公司将与AMC、FHCRC和Products for Better Health Foundation在多媒体开发和评估方面进行合作。在计算机互动和个人访谈的第一阶段可行性测试中，我们将评估工作场所健康协调员(n=12)和员工(n=36)使用营养教育互动多媒体程序的能力和满意度。

DESCRIPTION: Internet, web-based technology has great potential to extend cancer prevention communications widely and rapidly. While access to web-based technology is not universal, it is growing quickly and represents a valuable tool for cancer prevention. Access to computers and WWW technology is much higher in worksites than homes. WWW health education applications in worksites can be successful now. Of all the dietary factors related to cancer prevention, research evidence is most consistent for an inverse association between cancer risk and fruit and vegetable consumption. We will produce a prototype web-based multimedia worksite 5-a-Day program with computer resources for worksite wellness professionals and educational activities and communication features for employees. The multimedia program will be based on successful worksite 5-a-Day interventions developed by researchers at the AMC Cancer Research Center (AMC) and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) in NCI-funded R01 projects. Partners for Health Systems, Inc. will collaborate with AMC, FHCRC, and the Produce for Better Health Foundation on multimedia development and evaluation. In a Phase I feasibility test with computer interaction and personal interview, we will assess worksite wellness coordinators' (n=12) and employees' (n=36) ability to use and satisfaction with the nutrition education interactive multimedia program.
