The study hypothesis is that clearer visual presentation of guideline recommendations and educational outreach, or academic detailing, can improve guideline compliance. However, it will investigate other aspects of screening-related decision-making, such as provider and patient beliefs about screening, provider-patient communication and patient's willingness to forgo expected testing. The research question is whether educational interventions can decrease non-compliance with screening guidelines for 5 common cancers.
