CDC COMMUNITY GUIDE: Cancer Screening: One-on-One Education for Clients – Cervical Cancer
CDC
An Evidence-Based Practice
Description
One-on-one education delivers information to individuals about indications for, benefits of, and ways to overcome barriers to cancer screening with the goal of informing, encouraging, and motivating them to seek recommended screening. These messages are delivered by healthcare workers or other health professionals, lay health advisors, or volunteers, and are conducted by telephone or in person in medical, community, worksite, or household settings.
These messages can be untailored to address the overall target population or tailored with the intent to reach one specific person, based on characteristics unique to that person, related to the outcome of interest, and derived from an individual assessment. One-on-one education is often accompanied by supporting materials delivered via small media (e.g., brochures), and may also involve client reminders.
The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends the use of one-on-one education to increase screening for breast and cervical cancers on the basis of strong evidence of effectiveness. The Task Force also recommends the use of one-on-one education to increase colorectal cancer screening with fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) based on sufficient evidence of effectiveness.
