Objective:
The experimental design is a one-site, randomized experimental web-based educational feasibility intervention trial, with approximately 50% primary care physicians (PCPs) in the intervention group and approximately 50% PCPs on the control group, giving a total of 159 participants. All 159 participants have willingly provided their e-mail addresses, as part of a survey they previously completed entitled, "Survey of Health Professionals on Oral Cancer in Ohio- Intervention to Prevent Delayed Diagnosis of Oral Cancer."
详细描述
The main specific aim is to determine the short-term effectiveness of a web-based educational intervention for primary care physicians (PCPs) in Ohio to improve the following:Index of knowledge of risk factors for oral cancer, and Index of knowledge of diagnostic procedures for oral cancer
The following hypothesis will be explored: The use of a web-based educational module for PCPs in Ohio regarding oral cancer will increase the proportion of the PCPs in the high score category for the following indices: Index of knowledge of risk factors of oral cancer, and Index of knowledge of diagnostic procedures for oral cancer

结局指标
主要结局
Index of knowledge of diagnostic procedure for oral cancer
时间窗: An average of 8 months from the time of the initial email sent on 7/21/11.
The list of participants will be sent an initial email inviting them to view the module and complete a pre test (control group) or a post test (intervention group). Reminder emails will be sent every 2 months for up to 6 months following the initial email. It is expected that at least a 15% higher proportion of Intervention group PCPs will attain the high score category for each of this index, as compared to the Control group PCPs.
次要结局
