Factors associated with successfully embedding brief primary prevention interventions in cancer screening programs

This rapid review aims to provide evidence about the factors that influence the successful implementation of brief primary prevention interventions delivered in a cancer screening setting. The findings of this Evidence Snapshot have been arranged into key themes using the RE-AIM framework to assist in the identification of potentially essential elements that may improve the adoption and sustainment of evidence-based interventions. We identified 11 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Delivering brief cancer prevention interventions within a screening setting is an emerging area of research representing an opportunity to address a key evidence gap by evaluating existing programs of work.
