Brief Summary
This trial examines cancer communication within Hispanic social networks. Hispanics have the lowest colorectal cancer screening rate of any major ethnic group and health interventions are crucially needed among Hispanics. Patient decision aids are health communication interventions designed to provide patients with targeted health information and have shown to improve colorectal cancer screening rates among Hispanics. The goal of this study is to investigate, in a sample of Hispanics, how a colorectal cancer decision aid aimed at increasing individuals' colorectal cancer screening behavior has effects on their alters' intention to get screened for colorectal cancer.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Patients' communication with their families, friends, and co-workers about colorectal cancer (CRC) screening
Will be assessed using a single dichotomized question with two response options ('yes' or 'no'). CRC communication constitutes in-person conversation, email, phone, or post on social media (e.g., blog, Twitter, Facebook). Will also assess the characteristics of the alters by asking the patients two questions on social-tie dimensions: 1) contact frequency (never, rarely, sometimes, often, or very often) and 2) personal relationship (acquaintance , close friend , co-worker, relatives, or spouse).
Up to 6 months
Alters' intent to become screened for CRC in the next six months
Intent will be assessed using a single categorical item with three response options (definitely planning to be screened, considering being screened, not considering being screened).
Up to 6 months
Study Arms (1)
Health services research (educational video, survey)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants view an educational video on cancer and cancer screening options over 12 minutes. Participants also complete a phone survey over 10-15 minutes before attending the video session and 2 months after the video session.
