简要总结

RATIONALE: Computer-based continuing education courses may be effective in improving the skills of primary care doctors to identify skin cancer risk factors, perform skin cancer exams, and counsel patients. They may also improve the skills of primary care doctors to assess and counsel patients on their weight, diet, and physical activity.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well computer-based continuing education courses work in improving doctors' ability to perform skin cancer or weight control exams and counseling during routine office visits.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the efficacy of a continuing education course designed to improve primary care physician performance in examination and counseling of patients about skin cancer vs a continuing education course designed to improve physician assessment of weight management.
  • Evaluate physician performance of skin examination during routine patient visits at 12 months after completion of the skin cancer continuing education course.
  • Evaluate physician counseling around skin cancer issues.

Secondary

  • Evaluate the efficacy of the skin cancer continuing education course in improving physician skin cancer triage skills and in changing physician attitudes and knowledge regarding skin cancer issues.
  • Assess improvements in physician assessment of weight, diet, and physical activity.
