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，对于工作场所来说，缺乏理论上合理的、包括多种癌症风险行为、使用多媒体、自我管理和互动的方案。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，旨在通过减少工人对烟草、酒精和膳食脂肪的消费来减少癌症的发病率。多媒体课程将以社会学习模式为基础，包括使用引人入胜的视频材料，强调健康行为的短期效益。在第一阶段，将编制光盘只读存储器和录像片段的初步结构和内容，并将在专家和目标听众的重点小组中测试节目片段草案。我们将对美国各地公司的健康促进从业人员和计划人员进行访谈，以评估基于光盘的工作场所癌症预防计划的需求和可行性。在第二阶段，原型程序将经过严格的实地测试，并进行相应的修改，为职场营销做好准备。

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.
