To test the feasibility and efficacy of a multifaceted model shared care for men after completion treatment prostate cancer.Men who had completed low- to moderate-risk cancer within previous 8 weeks were eligible. Participants randomized usual or care. Shared entailed substituting two hospital visits with three in primary care, survivorship plan, recall reminders, screening distress unmet needs. Outcome measures included psychological distress, cancer-specific quality life, satisfaction...
A risk-stratified approach to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening could result in a more acceptable balance of benefits and harms, be cost-effective.To determine the effect consultation general practice using computerised risk assessment decision support tool (Colorectal RISk Prediction, CRISP) on risk-appropriate CRC screening.Randomised controlled trial 10 practices Melbourne, Australia, from May 2017 2018.Participants were recruited consecutive sample patients aged 50-74 years attending...
Background International research has focused on screening and mass media campaigns to promote earlier patient presentation detect lung cancer earlier. This trial tested the effect of a behavioural intervention in people at increased risk help-seeking for respiratory symptoms. Methods Parallel, individually randomised controlled trial. Eligible participants were long-term smokers with least 20 pack-years, aged 55 above. The CHEST entailed consultation discuss implement self-help manual,...
Lung cancer has one of the lowest survival outcomes any because over two-thirds patients are diagnosed when curative treatment is no longer possible, partly due to later presentation with symptoms a healthcare provider. To explore theoretical underpinning Scottish CHEST intervention in participants randomized group within Australia trial. A purposive maximum variation sample who received trial Perth, Western (N = 13) and Melbourne, Victoria, 7) were interviewed. Patients asked about their...
Introduction Lung cancer is the most common worldwide, with 1.3 million new cases diagnosed every year. It has one of lowest survival outcomes any because over two-thirds patients are when curative treatment not possible. International research focused on screening and community interventions to promote earlier presentation a healthcare provider improve early lung detection. This paper describes protocol for phase II, multisite, randomised controlled trial, at increased risk in primary care...
Abstract Mental health literacy interventions in school settings are growing number and scope, yet challenges user engagement real-world implementation persist. The Decode Health Wellbeing Program (Decode) is a novel innovative mental program for teachers students that harnesses the power of social media platform-style content delivery lived experience influencers to engage young people. Using multi-site, multi-informant, pre-post cohort study design over 4-week period, was evaluated five...
Current clinician-led melanoma surveillance models require frequent routinely scheduled clinic visits, with associated travel, cost, and time burden for patients. Patient-led is a new model of follow-up care that could reduce health use such as visits medical procedures their costs, increase access to care, promote early diagnosis subsequent after treatment primary melanoma. Understanding patient experiences may allow improvements in implementation.This study aims explore patients'...
Abstract Background/Objectives Some international guidelines recommend a risk‐based approach to screening for melanoma, but few suggest how account multiple risk factors or implement in practice. This study investigated the acceptability and feasibility of identifying patients at increased melanoma Australian general practice using self‐completed assessment tool. Stratification was based on validated Williams prediction model. Methods Patients companions aged 18 older practices were...
The growing number of melanoma patients who need long-term surveillance increasingly exceeds the capacity dermatology workforce, particularly outside metropolitan areas. Digital technologies that enable to perform skin self-examination and send dermoscopic images lesions concern a dermatologist (mobile teledermoscopy) are potential solution. If these remote delivery be incorporated into routine clinical practice, they accepted by clinicians providing care, such as dermatologists general...

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Melanoma is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia. Up to 75% of melanomas are first detected by patients or their family friends. Many mobile apps for melanoma exist, including encourage skin self-monitoring improve likelihood early detection.
