Cancer education via video-teleconferencing: an assessment of participant responses

Two one-hour video-teleconferences on pediatric oncology were presented to a targeted statewide audience of cancer care providers and other professionals who work with pediatric cancer patients in the hospital, community, and home. Participant responses to a post-broadcast questionnaire addressing program content, process, and context were then assessed. Of the 203 participants, 87.8% agreed that the program content would be useful to their practice, and 94.3% agreed they would recommend video-teleconferencing as an effective method for continuing cancer education.
