DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Sexual dysfunction is one of the most prevalent and persistent problems after cancer treatment. This Fast Track STTR will create and evaluate a multimedia educational and counseling tool to promote recovery of sexual satisfaction in men treated for cancer. Second Manhood: Recovering Your Sex Life after Cancer will be viewable over the internet, on a CD or DVD, or in printed form. It will help men understand how cancer treatments cause sexual problems, learn self-help strategies to improve sexual function, and optimize use of medical treatments. Partners will get advice, self-help exercises, and communication skills training to enhance their role in resolving sexual problems. For health care professionals, we are creating the Follow-Through System for Male Sexual Dysfunction (FT) to improve the quality and continuity of care. It will provide scheduled assessments, using Interactive Voice Recording (IVR) telephony. Scheduled symptom reports with rapid responses from the clinic staff should enhance the success of treatments for erectile dysfunction, preventing the common problem of men discontinuing a prescribed treatment, and then giving up. Phase I: Aim 1 is to use focus groups and interviews to tailor the text and video vignette components of Second Manhood (SM) to a diverse audience. We will assess 130 cancer survivors of varying ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, relationship status, and cancer history. Aim 2 is to use interviews with expert health care professionals (HCP's) to design and create the FT communication interface, pilot testing it in our Sexual Medicine Clinic at UT M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. A communication skills manual for HCP's will also be created. Phase II: We will recruit 360 men from this clinic and from a county hospital. All will be cancer survivors with no current evidence of disease, off active treatment, and seeking help for sexual dysfunction. Partners will be encouraged to participate. We will use adaptive randomization to assign men to one of three groups: Usual Care in the Sexual Medicine clinic (UC), UC + SM, or UC + SM + FT. Those receiving SM will be instructed to view and interact with the application and carry out behavioral homework. All men will complete a brief questionnaire on symptoms via the IVR at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. The IVR will call FT group men and partners at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks to complete the Treatment Satisfaction Scale (TSS). FT group members will also be encouraged to initiate calls with questions or problems. A mid-level practitioner hired for the study will follow both SM groups. Men will complete additional brief questionnaires at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks assessing overall distress, marital satisfaction, quality of life, and a broad spectrum of sexual function. The hypothesis is that improvements in sexual function and satisfaction will be significantly greater at follow-up for the SM and SM + FT groups than the UC group, but the FT group will also have significantly better outcomes than the SM group. Partner participation and extent of website usage may be moderating variables. All participants will complete a program evaluation form at week 24. During Phase II an IVR-based Sexual Medicine Hotline will be piloted to facilitate both self- and HCP referrals to the Sexual Medicine Clinic. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: According to the office of Cancer Survivorship, about 3,050,000 men in the United States are survivors of prostate, colorectal, or bladder cancer, which means at least 1,525,000 suffer from cancer-related sexual dysfunction. Research indicates that less than 20 percent of men end up satisfied with their recovery from sexual problems, even though 60 percent are distressed about them, and most try some type of medical help. Second Manhood provides education and counseling using multimedia technology to help men and their partners resolve cancer-related sexual dysfunction. A companion product, the Follow-Through System for Male Sexual Dysfunction uses Interactive Voice Recording (IVR) telephony to improve the consistency and quality of medical care for sexual problems.

描述（由申请人提供）：性功能障碍是癌症治疗后最普遍和持续存在的问题之一。该快速通道 STTR 将创建并评估多媒体教育和咨询工具，以促进癌症治疗男性恢复性满意度。 《第二个男子气概：癌症后恢复性生活》将通过互联网、CD、DVD 或印刷版形式提供。它将帮助男性了解癌症治疗如何导致性问题，学习改善性功能的自助策略，并优化药物治疗的使用。伴侣将获得建议、自助练习和沟通技巧培训，以增强他们在解决性问题方面的作用。对于医疗保健专业人员，我们正在创建男性性功能障碍 (FT) 跟踪系统，以提高护理质量和连续性。它将使用交互式语音录音 (IVR) 电话提供预定评估。定期的症状报告以及诊所工作人员的快速反应应该可以提高勃起功能障碍治疗的成功率，防止男性停止处方治疗然后放弃的常见问题。第一阶段：目标 1 是利用焦点小组和访谈来为不同的受众量身定制第二个男子气概 (SM) 的文本和视频片段组件。我们将评估 130 名不同种族、性取向、年龄、人际关系状况和癌症病史的癌症幸存者。目标 2 是通过与专业医疗保健专业人员 (HCP) 的访谈来设计和创建 FT 通信界面，并在 UT M. D. Anderson 癌症中心的性医学诊所进行试点测试。还将为 HCP 创建沟通技巧手册。第二阶段：我们将从该诊所和一家县医院招募360名男性。所有人都将是癌症幸存者，目前没有疾病证据，未接受积极治疗，并正在寻求性功能障碍的帮助。我们将鼓励合作伙伴参与。我们将使用自适应随机化将男性分配到三组之一：性医学诊所的常规护理 (UC)、UC + SM 或 UC + SM + FT。那些收到 SM 的人将被指示查看应用程序并与之交互，并完成行为作业。所有男性都将在基线、12 周和 24 周时通过 IVR 完成一份关于症状的简短调查问卷。 IVR 将在第 2、4、6 和 8 周时致电 FT 组男性和伴侣，以完成治疗满意度量表 (TSS)。 FT 小组成员还将被鼓励拨打电话提出疑问或问题。受聘参加该研究的一名中级从业者将同时关注两个 SM 小组。男性将在基线、12 周和 24 周时完成额外的简短调查问卷，评估总体痛苦、婚姻满意度、生活质量和广泛的性功能。假设 SM 和 SM + FT 组在随访时性功能和满意度的改善将显着高于 UC 组，但 ​​FT 组的结果也将明显优于 SM 组。合作伙伴参与和网站使用程度可能是调节变量。所有参与者将在第 24 周填写项目评估表。在第二阶段，将试行基于 IVR 的性医学热线，以方便自我和 HCP 转介到性医学诊所。 公共健康相关性：根据癌症幸存者办公室的数据，美国约有 3,050,000 名男性是前列腺癌、结直肠癌或膀胱癌的幸存者，这意味着至少有 1,525,000 人患有与癌症相关的性功能障碍。研究表明，只有不到 20% 的男性最终对自己从性问题中恢复过来感到满意，尽管 60% 的男性对此感到苦恼，并且大多数人尝试某种类型的医疗帮助。 Second Manhood 利用多媒体技术提供教育和咨询，帮助男性及其伴侣解决与癌症相关的性功能障碍。男性性功能障碍跟踪系统是配套产品，它使用交互式语音记录 (IVR) 电话来提高性问题医疗护理的一致性和质量。
