RESUMO
AIM: To provide a systematic synthesis of primary care practice-based interventions and their effect on participation in population-based cancer screening programs. BACKGROUND: Globally, population-based cancer screening programs (bowel, breast, and cervical) have sub-optimal participation rates. Primary healthcare workers (PHCWs) have an important role in facilitating a patient's decision to screen; however, barriers exist to their engagement. It remains unclear how to best optimize the role of PHCWs to increase screening participation. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted from January 2010 until November 2023 in the following databases: Medline (OVID), EMBASE, and CINAHL. Data extraction, quality assessment, and synthesis were conducted. Studies were separated by whether they assessed the effect of a single-component or multi-component intervention and study type. FINDINGS: Forty-nine studies were identified, of which 36 originated from the USA. Fifteen studies were investigations of single-component interventions, and 34 studies were of multi-component interventions. Interventions with a positive effect on screening participation were predominantly multi-component, and most included combinations of audit and feedback, provider reminders, practice-facilitated assessment and improvement, and patient education across all screening programs. Regarding bowel screening, provision of screening kits at point-of-care was an effective strategy to increase participation. Taking a 'whole-of-practice approach' and identifying a 'practice champion' were found to be contextual factors of effective interventions.The findings suggest that complex interventions comprised of practitioner-focused and patient-focused components are required to increase cancer screening participation in primary care settings. This study provides novel understanding as to what components and contextual factors should be included in primary care practice-based interventions.

Abstract The article aims to reflect on the creation of a more solid ethical research infrastructure in relation to Indigenous health research in Chile. It presents an ethical research framework that aims to support a more equitable and collaborative relationship between academics and Indigenous communities, which may lead to more relevant research and increased benefits for communities in accordance with bioethical research principles. We use international experiences to inform consideration of how ethical Indigenous health research infrastructure could be established in the Chilean context. We then present the development and adoption of guidelines for ethical Indigenous health research and orientation towards collaborative and community-led research as mechanisms that may assist in achieving these aims.
Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre la creación de una infraestructura de investigación ética más sólida en relación con la investigación de la salud de la población indígena en Chile. Se expone un marco de investigación ética que apunta a apoyar una relación más equitativa y colaborativa entre académicos y comunidades indígenas, lo que puede conducir a investigaciones más pertinentes y a mayores beneficios para las comunidades de conformidad con los principios de la investigación bioética. Se emplearon experiencias internacionales para informar sobre la forma en que se podría establecer una infraestructura de investigación de la salud de la población indígena en el contexto chileno. Luego, se presenta el desarrollo y la adopción de directrices para la investigación ética de la salud de la población indígena y la orientación hacia la investigación colaborativa y dirigida por la comunidad como mecanismos que pueden ayudar a lograr estos objetivos.
Resumo O artigo busca refletir sobre a criação de uma infraestrutura de pesquisa ética mais sólida em relação à pesquisa em saúde indígena no Chile. Apresenta-se um âmbito de pesquisa ética que visa corroborar um relacionamento mais justo e colaborativo entre a academia e as comunidades indígenas, o que pode resultar em estudos mais relevantes e no aumento dos benefícios para as comunidades, de acordo com os princípios bioéticos da pesquisa. Usamos experiências internacionais para indicar como a infraestrutura da pesquisa em saúde indígena poderia ser estabelecida no contexto chileno. Em seguida, apresentamos o desenvolvimento e adoção de diretrizes para a pesquisa ética em saúde indígena e a orientação em direção a uma pesquisa colaborativa e à comunidade como mecanismos que podem ajudar a alcançar esses objetivos.
