Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Proportion of cancer and chronic disease prevention and screening (CCDPS) actions for which the patient was eligible at baseline that are met (according to pre-defined targets) at 12-month follow-up. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Proportion of patients meeting the evidence-based targets will be measured by tracking specific cancer and chronic disease prevention and screening actions (e.g. mammograms completed, alcohol consumption reduced, screening for poverty) longitudinally at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months 2. Number of targeted cancer and chronic disease prevention and screening actions that patients randomized to the intervention group were deemed eligible to improve at baseline that are met (according to pre-defined targets) at 24-month follow-up | — |
