Implementation of a Web-based App for Screening in Men in a Malaysian Primary Care Setting

Implementation of a Web-based App for Screening in Men in a Malaysian Primary Care Setting

The purpose of this study is to determine how to successfully implement ScreenMen in the primary care setting. ScreenMen is a mobile web-based app that has been developed to increase the uptake of screening in men. ScreenMen undertook a vigorous and systematic approach in its development. It was developed based on theories, evidence and needs of men. ScreenMen particularly target men in the age group of 20 to 50 years as this group of men usually do not attend any health screening. This research is necessary because ScreenMen has yet to be implemented in the primary care setting. The study will last about five months and your participation will be about five months.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Healthcare providers that were involved in the clinic health screening program.
2. Patients who were aged 18 years and above were eligible to participate.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Temporary healthcare providers (working in the clinic less than six months during the study period) and those who were away on leave.
2. Patients who did not understand Bahasa Malaysia, English or Mandarin, cognitively impaired, had an active psychiatric illness or were too ill.
