Observational Study on 'Teaching the Teachers' for Liver Cancer Guidelines

This study is looking at a new way to share guidelines for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer. It's called the 'Teaching the Teachers' concept. The idea is that expert doctors learn the guidelines and then teach them to other doctors, who then teach even more doctors. This study wants to see how well this method helps spread the guidelines nationally and internationally. They will ask doctors who have finished radiology residency, or specialize in liver imaging, to complete surveys. The main goal is to see how much these guidelines are taught and used in clinical practice after this 'Teaching the Teachers' approach. The study aims to enroll 100 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study involving 100 participants. It is not a treatment study, but rather looks at how information is shared.
What's involved
You would complete surveys right after a webinar on HCC diagnostic guidelines, then monthly, and again at 6 months.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed through study completion, which is an average of 1 year, to measure teaching rates.

What this trial measures

  • Teaching rates of the hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis guidelinesThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

    Paired comparisons will be performed on the proportion of learners using the practice guidelines. Will perform a multivariate analysis to assess the effect of demographic characteristics (e.g., number of years of experience, type of practice) on the teaching rate of the HCC diagnostic guidelines.
