Brief Summary
The primary purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy and effectiveness of a community-based nurse managed telephone support line (Provincial Health Contact Center; PHCC) and Colorectal Cancer Information and Screening Website in supporting Primary Care Providers (PCP) from Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) in their efforts to improve colorectal cancer (CRC) screening Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) compliance in average risk men and women 50-74 years of age. Secondary outcomes of the study involve documenting and investigating common patient questions and comments about CRC and the FOBT during their PHCC communication(s)/Website visits as well as procuring feedback from PCP and patients related to their experiences with the study protocol (PCP), FOBT (patients) and PHCC/website (patients).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) completion rate
4 months
Secondary Outcomes (1)
The most common patient questions and comments about colorectal cancer, screening, and the fecal occult blood test during the intervention(s). A patient and primary care provider survey.
1 year
Study Arms (2)
FOBT by laboratory requisition or directly by PCP
NO INTERVENTIONThe family physician indicates fecal occult blood test on the patient's laboratory requisition (i.e. the patient receives the fecal occult blood test at the lab) or provides the patient with an FOBT kit.
FOBT by lab req. or directly from PCP + study magnet
EXPERIMENTALThe family physician indicates fecal occult blood test on the patient's laboratory requisition (i.e. the patient receives the fecal occult blood test at the lab) or provides the patient with an FOBT kit. The family physician provides each patient with a study magnet containing a PHCC telephone number and study specific website address.
Interventions
The refrigerator magnet contains a telephone number for a Provincial Health Contact Centre and a URL for a colorectal cancer Website that patients can access to learn more about colorectal cancer, screening and the fecal occult blood test. Patients can also have their questions answered.
