Abstract
Background. In this pilot study, we evaluated the Lymphedema Roadshow's capacity to increase public and provider awareness of postcancer lymphedema. Methods. Participants completed preworkshop and postworkshop surveys to determine if the intervention changed their attitudes and knowledge of postcancer lymphedema. Results. The workshop significantly increased 6 of 8 knowledge scores and 2 of 6 attitude scores among public participants and 7 of 8 knowledge scores and 5 of 6 attitude scores among health care providers. Conclusions. The Lymphedema Roadshow identified and addressed the public's and health care providers' need for greater awareness of postcancer lymphedema. J Cancer Educ . 2007; 22:105–107.
