Screening is especially important in Egypt, where there are no national colorectal cancer screening guidelines; physicians typically order colonoscopy only after patients are symptomatic, and younger-age CRC rates (ages 30–49 years) are higher. We designed and implemented a pilot training program for a colorectal cancer screening intervention wherein we recruited and trained medical students as ‘Health Champions’ to provide one-on-one education to patients about the disease and distribute no-cost vouchers for fecal occult blood test kits. Health Champions then reported results to patients and encouraged those with abnormal results to follow-up for a no-cost colonoscopy and subsequent cancer treatment, if indicated. Pre- and post-intervention surveys assessed the Health Champions’ colorectal cancer awareness, confidence levels, and abilities regarding patient communication and promotion of behavior change. Participants received three days of training before implementation in Alexandria, Egypt. Thirteen participants completed Health Champion training, half of whom were second-year medical students. Between December 2019 and March 2020, Health Champions demonstrated what they learned by recruiting 117 asymptomatic patients and providing them with education and screening kit vouchers. There were increases of 46.1% in Health Champions’ knowledge of colorectal cancer risks, 35.7% in knowledge of screening options, and 57.1% in awareness of treatment options for colorectal cancer post-training. This feasibility training pilot successfully increased Health Champions’ knowledge and skills associated with initiating and supporting health behavior changes while familiarizing them with initiating preventive screenings for patients.","PeriodicalId":45149,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Promotion and Education","volume":"61 1","pages":"43 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48369585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was sixty years ago that the management committee of the Institute of Health Education, the former name of the Institute of Health Promotion and Education (IHPE), agreed to fund an authoritative publication to publicise the theoretical and research basis of the new subject of Health Education. In 1960 only a few people working in healthcare believed that many of our common health issues were related to individual patterns of behaviour. Drug therapy was not the answer to maintaining health. Life-style was just as important. However, educating people about how to improve their health was not popular with either the political or medical establishments. It was often considered a waste of resources. For example, in the 1970s the British Medical Association still had ashtrays in the majority of their meeting rooms so members could smoke. Of course, this was no different from most organisations. Controlling smoking and alcohol consumption were definitely not welcomed by many commercial companies who could rely on political support from many politicians to dilute and discredit any health advice which might reduce profits. In addition, the science supporting the effectiveness of many health education initiatives was poorly developed. Indeed, the evaluation of health education was basic and grandiose claims for effectiveness were ill conceived and of little scientific merit. Nevertheless, as the 20 century moved on more evidence was published on the need for governments to develop and expand health promotion in order to deal with intractable health issues. The IJHPE was at the forefront of publishing scientific papers that supported the need for well-designed research. Academics highlighted the importance of targeted educational programmes to improve health and reduce the prevalence of high risk personal behaviours. Frank St D Rowntree the founding editor of the Journal and his main academic advisor Professor Leo Baric certainly focussed on delivering ground-breaking research papers from a wide range of disciplines which would improve the scientific rigour of the intervention planned by health education professionals. Any reader who had to deal with changing smoking behaviour in the 1970s and 80s would not have believed how attitudes to smoking in public places have changed. It was always a battle to try and make it simpler for people to quit smoking because of political pressure to protect the tobacco companies. When Dr David Player, the Director of the Scottish Health Education Group, funded a smoke-free room in a popular public house in the centre of Glasgow, he was roundly condemned by the local media for being a ‘Do Gooder’ and ruining the drinking experience of Glaswegian drinkers. It was so pleasing to see his vision finally become the norm. In 1994, the journal changed to an A4 format which was a popular size for publications in the ","PeriodicalId":45149,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Promotion and Education","volume":"60 1","pages":"313 - 315"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47289620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
