Brief Summary

Qualitative data were collected from 5 General Practionners (GPs) focus groups, 24 patient interviews and 35 recorded consultations from 9 GPs to explore colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in France The qualitative data indicated that improvement was needed in patient-centered communication. Educational material was developed based on these triangulated data with two different scenarios to improve communication with patients: one for a compliant patient, another for a non compliant patient The hypothesis is that a brief intervention on GPs can improve the patients' participation rate to colorectal screening Method : cluster randomized control trial (cluster unit : GPs practices) With a brief intervention on a randomized population of GPs in the district of Val d'Oise Inclusion criteria: GPs with a practice in the district of Val d'Oise and active in the colorectal mass screening

Conditions

Colorectal Cancer

Keywords

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• participation rate of patients for CRC screening

  Comparison of the participation rate for patients for CRC screening among GPs belonging to the intervention group versus the participation rate for patients for CRC screening among GPs belonging to the control group

  7 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• GPs with a participation rate over 65%

  7 months

• GPs participation rate over 45%

  7 months

Study Arms (2)

control group

NO INTERVENTION

GPs from practices in the control group are asked to continue their usual care, as if they were not participating in this trial. They had to send their patients list to the research team to calculate their eligible population. They were also asked to list all the gaiac Fecal occult blood test ( gFOBT) delivered during the six months period of the study.

intervention

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

GPs communication skills and CRC screening :the intervention was a four hours educational training for GPs of the intervention group focused on communication skills with a patients' centered care approach to improve patients participation at CRC screening

Behavioral: GPs communication skills and CRC screening

Interventions

GPs communication skills and CRC screening BEHAVIORAL

GPs of the intervention group received a four hours educational training focused on patients' centered care to improve GPs communication skills and enhance patients'participation in CRC mass screening . Triangulation of all qualitative data was performed in order to develop educational material and training based on the six components of the Patient-Centered Clinical Method . Two different scenarios were developed: one for a compliant patient, another for a non-compliant patient. Two videos were made with doctor and simulated patient. Interactive methods were used to elaborate educational training including role playing, the presentation of the video followed by an interactive discussion.
