Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Screening may help doctors find colorectal cancer sooner, when it may be easier to treat. Finding out what affects a patient's decision to undergo screening tests may help increase the number of patients who undergo regular screening for cancer. It is not yet known whether personalized invitations to undergo colorectal cancer screening are more effective than standard screening reminders. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying ways to increase colorectal cancer screening in African Americans.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Intervention impact on colorectal cancer (CRC) screening utilization over the 6-month observation period

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Intervention impact on CRC screening preference, based on data obtained from both the endpoint chart audit and the endpoint survey

• Intervention impact on population health-management representations related to CRC screening, as assessed by perceived salience and coherence and self-efficacy-related CRC screening measured with 6 to 10 Likert-type items on both the baseline and end ...
