Outline of Final Research Achievements

LPM is a series of processes that learning knowledge based on scientific grounds is transmitted from a person to a person in daily context. Self-administered pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test questionnaire surveys were conducted among attendees of a health education course session focusing on cancer (primary participants) and their family members or friends (secondary participants) in three communities in Japan. The questionnaires comprised items regarding socio-demographic characteristics, cancer prevention and control knowledge in Japan, and relations between primary and secondary participants. This study demonstrated the feasibility of implementing a learning partner model in conjunction with community health education programs conducted by local governments in Japan. Further studies are necessary to build on the experience of this study and refine implementation and evaluation strategies.
