Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this proposal is to test the efficacy of a patient-centered, tailored message intervention delivered via virtual technology for increasing colorectal cancer (CRC) screening within guidelines among racial/ethnic minority and rural patients. This protocol focuses on the clinical portion of grant NCI 1RCA207689-01A1
Detailed Description
Patients will be recruited via a secure, clinical data warehouse to complete a patient-randomized test of the efficacy of the intervention for promoting initial and repeat FIT testing. Patients identified as eligible will be contacted through MyChart to test a web-based, culturally-sensitive virtual human intervention for CRC screening. The web-application will provide information to encourage CRC screening. Therefore, this study is a minimal risk study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Intention to Screen for Colorectal Cancer (CRC)
Time Frame: within the first 12 months
Measure: Intention to Screen for Colorectal Cancer Item: I want to get screened for colorectal cancer. Scale: 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). Mean scores near 1 indicate a lower intention to get screened for colorectal cancer. Mean scores near 5 indicate a higher intention to get screened for colorectal cancer. Construct: Behavioral intention to screen No subscales
Secondary Outcomes
- Communication With a Provider About Colorectal Cancer (CRC)(Assessed after 24 months)
