This study builds on the Project Connect Health Systems Intervention, adapting and piloting an online intervention (CONNECT-YM) that increases YMSM's HIV/STI awareness, and helps them identify culturally-competent sexual health providers where they may test for HIV/STIs. (01/02/2013 - 09/29/2013)
Building Your New Normal tests two novel approaches to improve the quality of post-treatment follow-up for prostate cancer survivors: 1) IVR (interactive voice response)-administered EPIC and 2) tailored versions of Michigan Cancer Consortium (MCC) guidelines for patients and their primary care providers (10/01/2010 - 09/30/2011)

Approximately 10-30% of men who undergo external beam radiation for localized prostate cancer see rising PSA scores following treatment. Some of these men need androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as salvage treatment. ADT is not curative and has significant side effects that impact quality of life (QOL). These facts must be balanced against its clinical need. The decision to initiate hormonal therapy is driven more by patient anxiety and less by clinical parameters. Thus, men need to better understand how their PSA values and likelihood of recurrence will change over time. A novel computer model, based on 2,386 patients previously treated, will provide this information. This project aims to develop and test methods of communicating this information to patients and to determine how patients use it in their treatment decisions. (09/01/2010 - 08/31/2012)

DVDs demonstrate to patients some of the issues that might arise during their prostate cancer diagnosis visit that may prevent them from sharing in the decision of what treatment to choose. The DVDs also provide solutions that would allow for patients' participation in the treatment decision making process. (09/01/2008 - 08/31/2013)

The purpose of the University of Michigan Center of Excellence in Cancer Communications Research (CECCR) is to develop an efficient, theory-driven model for generating tailored health behavior interventions for many health behaviors and socio-demographic populations. (09/01/2008 - 08/31/2013)
PI: Victor J. Strecher, PhD, MPH
The purpose of the University of Michigan Center of Excellence in Cancer Communications Research (CECCR) is to develop an efficient, theory-driven model for generating tailored health behavior interventions that is generalizable across health behaviors and socio-demographic populations. (09/01/2003 - 08/31/2008)
This project is an adaptation of Making the Choice. We revise the paper-based decision aid and develop alternative media formats (audiotape- and Internet-based versions) of the paper based decision aid to increase distribution and utilization. We also test the paper, audiotape, and Internet-based decision aids in an appropriate population of patients to provide pilot data on the tools' efficacy for improving patient knowledge. (09/30/2002 - 09/29/2004)
Making the Choice is a booklet to help men better understand prostate health and the issues surrounding prostate cancer testing. (09/30/2002 - 09/29/2004)
This project is focused on creating a booklet to help men better understand prostate health and the issues surrounding prostate cancer testing. (09/01/1996 - 10/31/1997)
PI: Victor J. Strecher, PhD, MPH
This project aims to create a channel for the Michigan Interactive Health Kiosk Project on prostate cancer symptoms, testing, and treatment options. (01/01/1996 - 09/30/1997)
