简要总结
- Specific OPC patient communication (COPC) tool to address OPCs among Black men.
- Assess the COPC tool's ability to improve dental providers' communication with Black men.
- Implement a pilot test of the culturally tailored OPC communication tool in community-based settings to assess perceptions, knowledge and experiences of Black men receiving oral cancer screenings
详细描述
Aim 1: Adapt an existing OPC patient communication tool into a culturally- specific OPC patient communication (COPC) tool to address OPCs among Black men.
Aim 1a: We will use a mixed methods study design to conduct focus groups/ interviews and surveys among Black men who reside or work in UI Health catchment areas (n=25).
Aim 1b: Up to 20 Black males will be recruited by the research team to review the communication tool and infographic and participate in discussions to assess the tool's acceptability, cultural appropriateness, and potential to improve communication with Black men about OPCs. The communication tool is a document that will be used by dentists to communicate with and screen patients for OPC in culturally sensitive manner. Based on feedback from the Aim 1b focus group participants, the research team will further revise the COPC tool to ensure that it is culturally aligned, acceptable, and appropriate.
Aim 2: Assess the COPC tool's ability to improve dental providers' communication with Black men about OPCs in a simulated environment.
We will train up to 15 dental providers to use the tool (n=15). They will receive an introduction to the tool, use the tool during a simulated patient encounter and complete an interview to assess their overall attitudes of the tool, the tool's usability, and its effectiveness in helping to improve their self-efficacy for communicating with Black men about OPCs. The dental providers will complete a one-on-one individual interview. There will not be any focus groups in Aim 2 activities.

结局指标
主要结局
oral cancer communication
时间窗: 10 minutes
This communication tool will ideally help dentists communicate with their patients about oral cancer risk and treatment. The oral cancer screenings will occur in person. Participants will complete a pre-survey either on paper or online, engage with a dentist or dental student, then complete a post-survey
