“…Anecdotally, after viewing the CAI, one participant sought a prostate cancer screening, learned that the results were positive, and began the treatment process. This is the second known occurrence of a participant seeking screening and receiving treatment after viewing a CAI (Weston et al 2007). Finally, further investigation is required regarding the usefulness of focus group feedback and the role of Racial Identity.…”

“…Prostate Cancer CAI An earlier version of the CAI has been described elsewhere (Weston et al 2007). This investigation included a focus group convened to provide insight into the knowledge, attitudes and behavioral responses of the target population to prostate cancer screening and treatment, as well as into model and observers characteristics that optimize CAI effectiveness.…”

“…The current investigation utilized the community based diffusion model (CDM), a nine-step strategy developed by the National Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute, to develop a partnership with two Churches (NHLBI 1987). Weston et al (2007) have described the application of this model to Church-based partnerships.…”

Men of African descent are at high risk for prostate cancer. The paper's goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of computer assisted instruction (CAI) in increasing prostate cancer knowledge/awareness. Primary aims are to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the CAI to an earlier version. Secondary aim is to evaluate the role of racial identity. Forty-three males recruited at two churches completed in-depth survey, pre/posttest questionnaire, cross racial identity scale, and J Afr Am St (

“…The effectiveness of traditional approaches to patient education, such as leaflets, books, and videos, has been questioned, leading to the development of new educational strategies (Gysels & Higginson, 2007;Weston, Weston, Carolina, Lepore, & Pinto, 2007;Wofford, Smith, & Miller, 2005).…”

The Internet has great potential to provide information to patients with or at risk of developing cancer-related lymphedema (CRL), a complication of cancer treatment. To evaluate Web site structure (e.g., accreditation, design) and content (e.g., validity) for available Web sites on CRL, lymphedema, lymphoedema, cancer, and oncology were used with 10 search engines (five French and five English). The first page of each Web site was examined and the content was identified and classified using the evaluation model of the Science Panel on Interactive Communication and Health. The search strategy yielded 120 Web sites. Using inclusion and exclusion criteria, 19 Web sites were selected. The authors found that 79% of the Web sites focused exclusively on CRL and 74% were in English. Although information about each site's sponsor, goal, and target audience was readily available, content material was incomplete and evaluation of Web site impact and effectiveness was nonexistent. This review suggests that Web sites about CRL vary greatly in terms of structure and content.
