What this trial studies
PREVMED is an observational cross-sectional survey that anonymously collects information from physicians and medical residents about how they advise patients on physical activity, diet, tobacco and other substances, sun exposure, and cancer screening and prevention. The online questionnaire also gathers sociodemographic, lifestyle, and work-related data to explore factors that may influence preventive practices. The primary goal is to describe current preventive behaviors, while secondary aims examine how participant characteristics relate to these practices. Participation is voluntary and anonymous, with data captured via REDCap® and distributed through internet links and outreach channels at Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital. No interventions are performed; this is purely observational.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Understanding physician preventive practices could inform training and policy to improve patient counseling and cancer prevention efforts.
How similar studies have gone: Similar observational surveys have described physician preventive practices and identified factors associated with counseling, though approaches and populations vary by study.
