Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialEncouraging young males to perform testicular self-examination: a simple, but effective, implementation intentions intervention.
The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a simple psychological intervention known as 'implementation intentions' to promote performance of testicular self-examination (TSE) in a sample of young males. ⋯ The implementation intentions intervention procedure, which encourages the use of environmental and contextual 'cues' to prompt a desired behaviour, appears to offer a promising strategy for encouraging the performance of TSE.
