Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • describe doctor-patient communication about CRC screening

    screening adherence through self report. Screening adherence will be assessed by contacting the patients and asking them if they received the CRC screening test their doctor ordered at the audio recorded visit.

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • quality of doctor-patient communication about CRC screening and low-income patients' screening outcomes.

    2 years

  • examine the association between the quality of doctor-patient communication about CRC screening and low-income patients' screening outcomes

    2 years

Study Arms (1)

Pts having colorectal cancer screening

The target sample of this study will be approximately 200 primary care physician-patient consultations who discuss CRC screening during the course of a clinical visit. Physician and patient participants will come from primary care practices associated with the New York City Research and Improvement Networking Group (NYC RING).

Behavioral: surveys

Interventions

surveysBEHAVIORAL

The intervention will be the audio-recording of the physician-patient consultation, patient and doctor surveys. These audio recordings will be coded. It will also include follow-up phone calls with patients.

Study Population

Five health centers of the NYC RING will participate in this project. All are located in underserved urban communities within the Bronx.

You may qualify if:

  • Physicians
  • Attending physicians or third year residents specializing in internal medicine or family medicine, as per the medical director from the clinic.
  • Clinic is based at a NYC RING-affiliated practice.
  • English speaking; Due to limited resources, we cannot have each audio recorded consultation translated therefore, the consultation needs to be in English.
  • Patients
  • Ages 50-75 years old, per the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommendations for screening. This will be determined by a pre-screening of medical records by the RSA.
  • Due for colorectal cancer screening at the time of the visit, ascertained through patient self-report (e.g., no colonoscopy within the past 10 years, no flexible sigmoidoscopy or barium enema within the past five years, and no FOBT within the past year).
  • Coming for either an annual physical exam or chronic care follow up visit, per patient self-report.
  • Planning to consult with the physician in English, per patient self-report. Due to limited resources, we cannot have each audio recorded consultation translated therefore, the consultation needs to be in English.

You may not qualify if:

  • History of colorectal cancer, per patient self-report or per EMR..
  • History of polyps being removed, per patient self-report.
  • Colonoscopy scheduled in EMR at time of screening.
