The Co-Design of an Evidence-Based Health Education Strategy to Improve Bowel Cancer Awareness and Screening in a Remote Tasmanian Community: Lessons Learned.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
issue addressedGenerally, bowel cancer screening rates are lower in rural/remote Australia (40.6% major cities; 25.3% very remote areas, 2020-21). Rural/remote Tasmanians may need increased awareness to encourage screening, with recent decreased screening rates. This study aimed to co-design a health education strategy to improve bowel cancer awareness/screening in remote Tasmania.
methodsA co-design method was used to conduct two group workshops with 17 participants (14 community members, three healthcare providers). Workshops were guided by previous interviews with the community. Workshop one: participants chose the top three screening barriers and designed interventions to overcome them. These interventions were collated and presented to participants in workshop two. Participants shared ideas to refine interventions, then completed an acceptability, feasibility and appropriateness questionnaire of the overall strategy. Data was collected via written notes and analysed through content analysis.
resultsA health education strategy with two components and multiple interventions was developed: local media campaign (signage, video, bookmark, flyer, poster) and community health education events. Events included community champions sharing personal stories and healthcare providers providing clinical information. Participants identified the strategy as feasible, appropriate and acceptable for a rural/remote Tasmanian community. Following workshops, strategy components were developed in collaboration with the community.
conclusionsLarge scale strategies which may be effective for metropolitan areas of Australia may not be accepted by or appropriate for those in rural/remote areas. Remote community members valued local relevance and community involvement. SO WHAT?: If successful, the health education strategy could be implemented across rural/remote Tasmania to raise awareness/encourage screening.
