Type of intervention | Research ideas |
---|---|
Patient education/patient information | Randomized studies directly comparing different intervention formats/modalities/techniques on satisfaction, adherence, and clinical outcomes (prioritize those interventions from which individual studies have shown greatest promise on clinical outcomes) (i.e., how to do it) |
Decision aids | Development, testing, and evaluation of cancer decision aids in understudied areas (e.g., role within personalized medicine, molecular-genetics) • |
 | Development, testing, and evaluation of cancer decision aids in understudied populations |
Interactive health communication applications (IHCA) | What are the implications for IHCA on privacy policies and legislations? |
Contract interventions | Outside of cancer prevention, no role |
Reminder packaging | Research to identify if adherence to medication protocols is a problem for cancer patients (e.g., for which drugs, cancer diagnoses, complexity of drug regimen) • |
 | Generalize to other aspects of cancer care--What are effective strategies to remind cancer survivors of follow-up and monitoring regimens? (linked to discharge plan priorities) |
Multifaceted intervention | Design and evaluate multifaceted consumer interventions for specific cancer control problems using Haynes et al. review as foundation (i.e., deconstruct systematic review to identify most promising intervention clusters for specific contexts) |
Systematic review priorities | Acquiring skills and competencies • |
 | Consumer system participation • |
 | Minimizing risks or harms |
