A randomized trial of a web-based toolkit for applying evidence in the general practice cervical cancer prevention visitChief Investigators: Trevena L, McCaffery K, Barratt A, Leask J, Brotherton J, Dobbins T. Research Coordinator: Wadolowski M. This project is funded by the Cancer Council NSW and involves the development and evaluation of a website for young women who are considering a Pap smear. It will include a randomised trial in general practice. HPV testing Decision Aid for women with Minor Atypia on Pap smear (The IMAP Study)McCaffery K, Irwig L, Howard K, Davey E, Barratt A, Salkeld G, Lewicka M, Weisberg E. This study will compare the psychosocial outcomes of different management strategies for women with a mildly abnormal Pap smear: (a) usual care (repeat Pap smear), (b) HPV testing, a new management proposed for this group, and (c) the choice of either management using a decision aid to support women to make their preferred choice. The study will assess psychosocial and quality of life outcomes and will model the effectiveness of each management strategy. HPV vaccination survey of GPsJackson, Leask, McCaffery K, Trevena L, Brotherton. This project is a survey of GPs on implementation of HPV vaccination program. An interactive decision aid for prioritising health-check activitiesTrevena L, Barratt A, Del Mar, Dobbins T, McCaffery K, This will involve a randomized controlled trial of a web-based tool for health check activities amongst healthy Australians presenting to the GP for a check-up. It is funded by NSW Cancer Council for three years. Development and evaluation of a literacy sensitive decision aid for colorectal cancer screeningMcCaffery K, Smith S, Trevena L, Barratt A, Simpson J, Nutbeam D. Associate investigators:Butow P, Irwig L This project is funded by the Sydney Cancer Research Fund and the NHMRC. The project will develop and evaluate by randomised trial a FOBT screening decision aid for adults with limited literacy. The project also includes a substudy investigating optimal graphic formats for presenting risk information to adults with limited literacy and numeracy skills. The findings from this will inform the prsentation of quantitative risk information included in the decision aid. Sydney Cancer Research Fund. $100,000. Testing graphical risk presentation format among adults with low literacyMcCaffery K, Dixon A, Smith S, Trevana L, Hayen A, Barratt A, Irwig L, Nutbeam D, Simpson J. This study is a sub study of the above listed project. The aim is to the determine optimal graphic format to present risk information to adults with low literacy and education. 120 adults will be recruited from adult education classes in NSW for testing of different graph formats. The results of this study will inform the design of the decision aid described above. A randomised controlled trial of a decision aid for bowel cancer screening for adults with low education and literacyMcCaffrey K, Barrett A, Simpson J, Nutbeam D. This project is an investigation of whether a patient decision aid tailored to the needs of low literacy users can inform and support health decision making among adults with low education and literacy. The study will: (i) Determine optimal strategies for communicating quantitative risk information to the target group. (ii) Test the effectiveness of a patient decision aid tailored to the needs of adults with low education and literacy to (a) increase knowledge of a screening procedure (faecal occult blood testing (FOBT)), (b) enhance participation in decision making and (c) examine the impact on screening intentions and behaviour.
