Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine how to successfully implement ScreenMen in the primary care setting. ScreenMen is a mobile web-based app that has been developed to increase the uptake of screening in men. ScreenMen undertook a vigorous and systematic approach in its development. It was developed based on theories, evidence and needs of men. ScreenMen particularly target men in the age group of 20 to 50 years as this group of men usually do not attend any health screening. This research is necessary because ScreenMen has yet to be implemented in the primary care setting. The study will last about five months and your participation will be about five months.
