Brief Summary
This randomized clinical trial studies narrative or fact-based videos in increasing colorectal cancer screenings in African American communities. Informational videotapes may help increase the number of participants who engage in colonoscopy screenings. It is not yet known whether narrative videos may be more effective than fact-based videos in increasing colorectal cancer screenings.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in likelihood of CRC screening in previously unscreened subjects
A change score (post-presentation minus pre-presentation) will be created and summarized. In addition, the change score will be further dichotomized (e.g. increase versus no increase in the likelihood of screening) and the percent of those who experienced an increased likelihood, denoted by pi, will be computed. A corresponding 95% confidence interval will be calculated. To test for differences in variables collected pre- and post-presentation, generalized mixed linear models will be used. Testing will be done at the 0.0.5 nominal significance level and using the approximate t-test method.
Baseline to 6 months post-presentation
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Number of negative affective responses to CRC screening per Affective Associations and Affectively-Based Risk surveys
Post-presentation up to 6 months
Number of positive cognitive responses to CRC screening per Cognitively-Based Perceived Risk survey
Post-presentation up to 6 months
Number of participants who had or scheduled colonoscopy
Up to 6 months
Number of participants who performed the fecal occult blood test (FOBT)/fecal immunohistochemistry test (FIT)
Up to 6 months
Number of participants who discussed CRC screening with their primary care physician
Up to 6 months
- +2 more secondary outcomes
