General practitioners in cancer education.
At the request of the international Union Against Cancer, a committee was established to further "Doctor involvement in public education about cancer". One of the tasks first faced by this committee was the documentation of existing attitudes to cancer education of doctors in general practice in Melbourne, Victoria. This article presents the method used to collect this information, and a description and discussion of the results obtained. The implications for the future work of the committee on this project are also given in the light of these views held by general practitioners.
