Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudySociopsychological tailoring to address colorectal cancer screening disparities: a randomized controlled trial.
Interventions tailored to sociopsychological factors associated with health behaviors have promise for reducing colorectal cancer screening disparities, but limited research has assessed their impact in multiethnic populations. We examined whether an interactive multimedia computer program (IMCP) tailored to expanded health belief model sociopsychological factors could promote colorectal cancer screening in a multiethnic sample. ⋯ Sociopsychological factor tailoring was no more effective than nontailored information in encouraging colorectal cancer screening in a multiethnic sample, despite enhancing sociopsychological factors and visit behaviors associated with screening. The utility of sociopsychological tailoring in addressing screening disparities remains uncertain.

Randomized Controlled TrialImplementing asthma guidelines using practice facilitation and local learning collaboratives: a randomized controlled trial.
Guideline implementation in primary care has proven difficult. Although external assistance through performance feedback, academic detailing, practice facilitation (PF), and learning collaboratives seems to help, the best combination of interventions has not been determined. ⋯ Addition of PF to performance feedback and academic detailing was helpful to practices attempting to improve adherence to asthma guidelines.
