DECLIC Patient Education Program : Assessment Through a Population Health Intervention Research Approach (LE DECLIC EPRI)
Cancer pain is a frequent symptom, reported by 20 to 70% of patients in any stage of the
 cancer disease : 60 to 70% in the advanced stage of the disease and 20 to 40% among the
 survivors. Among patients who report pain, 40% report undertreated pain. Strengthening Pain
 management in cancer is a specific objective of the French Cancer Plan. Providing patient
 education for cancer pain management is recommended since small to moderate efficacy of
 patient education on pain intensity and interference was found in all meta-analysis. An
 effect size comparable with some analgesic agents. However, recommendations suggest
 improvement in order to increase effectiveness and population reach of those interventions.
 The DECLIC EPRI intervention aim at addressing all the issues raised by patient education for
 cancer pain management. It was developed according to the framework of Michie's Behavior
 change wheel theory.
