简要总结
There are two parts to this study: (1) an information gathering phase leading to the development of new educational materials; and (2) a study to test the newly developed material. The information gathering phase has been completed. The purpose of this part of the research study is to test the usefulness and acceptability of new educational materials investigators have developed. Investigators will compare the new educational material to another widely available educational brochure. The goal is to see if the new educational material will change knowledge and behaviors about colorectal cancer and colorectal screening.
详细描述
Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and other community health clinics (CHCs) provide comprehensive primary health care for underserved patients. Recently, high-sensitivity and high-specificity fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) and fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) have emerged as a preferred initial screening modality within clinics due to convenience, ease of use, and low cost compared with colonoscopy. FOBT/FIT may help to reduce colorectal cancer screening (CRC) screening disparities and overcome several previously mentioned factors that often account for suboptimal CRC screening rates.

入选标准
- •Racially-ethnically diverse adult men and women
- •Average risk individuals who have no personal diagnosis, or presumptive symptoms of colorectal cancer (CRC), or are not at high risk
- •Self-report as not current on screening
- •Provide at least two forms of contact information and contact information of a relative (not living with respondent) to facilitate follow-up contacts
- •Are able to speak, read and write English because the instruments and CARES intervention are available only in English at this time. We recognize that interventions are needed for non-English speaking populations, therefore, once we find promise in the English language CARES intervention materials, we will move forward with conducting other studies that involve translation of measures and cultural adaptation of the CARES intervention materials into Spanish or Haitian Creole.
排除标准
- •Individuals who have participated in a CRCS research study in the past 1 year will not be eligible for this study.
- •Recent screening criteria relates to not having had I-FOBT within the previous year, flex sig within the previous 5 years, a double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) x-ray with the previous 5 years, or a colonoscopy within the previous 10 years.
- •Within the recruitment and intervention frame, high risk individuals (due to strong family history, ulcerative colitis, polyposis syndromes) are excluded because they may be eligible for CRC screening before age 50, and the preferred screening option is certainly colonoscopy which is beyond the primary focus of the current study.
结局指标
主要结局
Rate of Test Kit Completion
时间窗: 6 months post final enrollment
Investigators will measure uptake of I-FOBT/FIT as any completed kit within 180 days of delivery of the intervention. That is, the proportion of participants who return a sampled kit by the 6 month assessment (investigators expect most kits to be returned much sooner) for calculation of the primary screening endpoint. I-FOBT/FIT use will be compared (CARES vs. SI).
次要结局
- Overall Colorectal Cancer Screening (CRCS) With Any Test(12 months post final enrollment)
- Time to Kit Return(Up to 12 months post final enrollment)
