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个基于光盘的方案，旨在通过减少烟草、酒精和膳食脂肪的消费来降低工人的癌症发病率。 多媒体计划将以社会学习模式为基础，并将包括使用强调健康行为短期益处的引人入胜的视频材料。 在第一阶段，一个原型的CD-ROM癌症预防计划的开发和试点测试;结果表明，这种方法是可行的，有前途的。 在第二阶段，光盘程序将完成和现场测试，在工地上，使用随机前测/后测实验设计。 现场测试将在GTE公司进行，样本为800名员工。 在实地测试之后，将对该方案进行修订，并准备向工业界推广。

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 CD-ROM based program 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 health behaviors. In Phase I, a prototype CD-ROM cancer prevention program was developed and pilot tested; results indicated that the approach is feasible and promising. In Phase II, the CD-ROM program will be completed and field-tested at a worksite, using a randomized pretest/posttest experimental design. The field test will take place at the GTE Corporation with a sample of 800 employees. Following the field test, the program will be revised and prepared for marketing to industry.
