Brief Summary

The goal of this psychosocial research study is to learn about the knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes that people have toward screening for colorectal cancer. Another goal is to study how families communicate about colorectal cancer risk and colorectal cancer screening, with each other and with health care providers. Objectives:

1. 1.To evaluate psychosocial and external factors influencing colorectal cancer (CRC) patients' communication with their first-degree relatives (FDRs) about CRC risk and screening information.
2. 2.To evaluate psychosocial and external factors associated with CRC screening behavior among first-degree relatives of CRC patients.

Study Population

Patients with diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer at or before age 60 years, and their First Degree Relatives (FDRs) who are age 40 years or older.

You may qualify if:

• Colorectal cancer (CRC) Patients: CRC patients will be eligible if they:
• have a diagnosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma at or before age 60, and were diagnosed between 6 and 12 months prior to being contacted about this study (to allow adequate time for dissemination of CRC risk to family members, and to avoid interference with care surrounding the initial diagnosis);
• have at least one living FDR age 40 years or older;
• can read and speak English.
• FDRs of CRC Patients: FDRs will be eligible if they
• are age 40 years or older;
• can read and speak English.

You may not qualify if:

• CRC Patients: CRC patients will be excluded if they:
• have a history of a known hereditary CRC syndrome (e.g., HNPCC, familial polyposis) or inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease); or
• have an ECOG PS\>1.
• FDRs of CRC patients: FDRs will be excluded if they:
• have a history of a known hereditary CRC syndrome (e.g., HNPCC, familial polyposis) or inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease); or
• have a personal history of colon polyps or of cancer diagnosed within 5 years prior to entry into the study, with the exception of nonmelanoma skin cancer.
