Brief Summary

RATIONALE: An interactive computer program may be more effective than a brochure in increasing colorectal cancer screening among African Americans. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying an interactive computer program to see how well it works compared with a brochure in increasing colorectal cancer screening among African Americans.

Conditions

Colorectal Cancer

Keywords

colon cancer; rectal cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Self-reported colorectal cancer (CRC) screening adherence with medical record verification of screening test completion

  6 and 15 months post-intervention

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Self-reported CRC discussion and screening test recommendation from provider on intervention/clinic visit date

  1 week post-intervention

• Provider documentation of CRC discussion and screening test recommendation on intervention/clinic visit date

  1 week post-intervention

• Self-reported CRC health beliefs

  Pre-intervention (baseline),1 week post-intervention, and 6 months post-intervention

• Self-reported stage of CRC screening test adoption

  Pre-intervention (baseline),1 week post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, and 15 months post-intervention

Other Outcomes (2)

• Patient characteristics as CRC screening predictors

  Pre-intervention (baseline), intervention date, 1 week post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, and/or 15 months post-intervention

• Clinic variables as CRC screening predictors

  Pre-intervention (baseline), 1 week post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, and 15 months post-intervention

Study Arms (2)

Non-tailored CRC screening brochure

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants undergo a baseline interview via telephone and receive a non-tailored CRC screening brochure in the clinic prior to visit with healthcare provider. Participants then undergo telephone interviews at 1 week, 6 months, and 15 months.

Behavioral: Non-tailored CRC screening brochure

Interactive computer intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants undergo a baseline interview via telephone and complete an interactive computer intervention in the clinic prior to visit with healthcare provider. Participants then undergo telephone interviews at 1 week, 6 months, and 15 months.

Behavioral: Interactive computer intervention

Interventions

Non-tailored CRC screening brochure BEHAVIORAL

Patients receive written educational material about colorectal cancer and prompting to talk to their doctor about getting tested.
