Summary

This study looked at how to increase early detection of oral cancer in high-risk individuals (smokers and heavy drinkers aged 35+) in Rio de Janeiro. Researchers trained health workers to invite these individuals for a free mouth exam and compared two outreach methods: actively calling those who missed their appointment versus a public awareness campaign. The goal was to see which approach led to more people getting screened.
