Increasing Colorectal and Breast Cancer Screening in Women
- Conditions
- Colorectal CancerBreast Cancer Female
- Registration Number
- NCT03279198
- Lead Sponsor
- Indiana University
- Brief Summary
This study compares the efficacy (adherence and stage) of four interventions to promote colorectal (CRC) and breast cancer (BC) screenings among women ages 50 to 75. They are:
1. usual care;
2. a TIWeb (tailored intervention Website)
3. a CSC (cancer screening call) and
4. TIWeb + a CSC. This study also compares the cost-effectiveness of the 4 interventions to promote CRC and BC screening among women ages 50 to 75.
- Detailed Description
This study addresses innovative approaches to increase adherence to screening tests for colorectal and breast cancer - two cancers that have the greatest impact on female cancer mortality in the United States.The cancer burden in women could be significantly reduced by increasing participation in recommended screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) and breast cancer (BC) in all eligible women. This research tests intervention to simultaneously increase both CRC and BC screening using behavior change strategies, and also estimates the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the interventions. Two groups of women, Group A (adherent to BC screening guidelines, but NOT to CRC screening guidelines) and Group B (non-adherent to BC \& CRC guidelines) are randomized to 1. Usual Care, 2. TIWeb, 3. CSC and 4. TIWeb +CSC.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary Outcome:differences in stage of adoption (precontemplation, contemplation, action) when controlling for adherence to BC screening at baseline, among women who are randomized to 1) usual care; 2) a TIWeb; 3) a CSC, and 4) a TIWeb plus a CSC. 6 months from the baseline measure Forward stage movement is the desired outcome -determining any forward stage movement in considering CRC screening either from Precontemplation to contemplation or from precontemplation to action
Primary Outcome -differences in CRC screening adherence, when controlling for adherence to BC screening at baseline, among women who are randomized to 1) usual care; 2) a TIWeb; 3) a CSC, and 4) a TIWeb plus a CSC. 6 months from the baseline measure any CRC test (either a stool test or colonoscopy) receipt of a stool test or a colonoscopy
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary outcome:Intervention Costs 6 months from the baseline measure Comparing the cost-effectiveness of four conditions to promote CRC and BC screening , there will be differences in adherence to both CRC and BC screening and stage of adoption, among women who are randomized to 1) usual care; 2) a TIWeb; 3) a CSC, and 4) a TIWeb plus a CSC.
