What are RTIPs and why consider them?

If you have ever wondered how to apply the Task Force findings related to cancer prevention and control, RTIPs -- Research-tested Intervention Programs -- are for you. Designed to help cancer control program staff, planners and researchers make decisions about the best program options for their needs, RTIPs:

  • Were developed under the auspices of the National Cancer Institute as part of Cancer Control P.L.A.N.E.T., a Web portal that provides access to the most current and scientifically valid information available about comprehensive cancer control
  • Describe evidence-based cancer prevention and control programs that:
    • Have been implemented in community or clinical settings for specific populations
    • Were developed and tested by researchers
    • Include free program materials that can be previewed, downloaded or ordered on CD-ROM
    • Include program materials that can be previewed and ordered directly from the developer (cost may apply)
  • Include only programs that meet the following criteria:
    • Research findings were published in a peer-reviewed journal
    • The study must have produced one or more positive behavioral or psychosocial outcomes (p≤.05) among individuals, communities, or populations
    • The evidence of outcomes must be demonstrated in at least one study, using an experimental or quasi-experimental design
    • Include messages, materials and other intervention components that can be used in community or clinical settings
    • Must have been conducted/tested within the last 10 years
