    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Public Health
    • Cancer Education

    Background:

    • Access to reliable cancer information is crucial for public health.
    • Traditional methods of information dissemination may not reach all patient populations effectively.
    • Integrating technology into healthcare settings can enhance patient engagement and education.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the usage and impact of a computer-based cancer information system in a dental clinic setting.
    • To assess patient engagement with digital health information resources.
    • To determine the feasibility and public acceptance of unsupervised, novel information systems.

    Main Methods:

    • A menu-driven computer program offering various cancer-related topics was implemented.

  • Usage logs, user comments, and topic selections were systematically recorded.
  • The system was made available to patients awaiting appointments at the University of Connecticut Dental Clinics.

    • Main Results:

    • The cancer information system was substantially utilized by patients during clinic waiting times.
    • An average of three to four individuals used the system daily.
    • The option to leave messages for system operators was the least utilized feature.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer-based information systems can effectively deliver important health information to the public in clinical waiting areas.
    • The novelty and lack of direct supervision did not hinder patient use of the system.
    • Digital health information delivery is a viable strategy for public cancer education and awareness.
