Evaluating Strategies to Present Colon Cancer Screening Information

ABSTRACT: This is a study examining the effects of different educational-motivational materials about colorectal cancer screening on perceptions and intentions to get screened. Eligible participants will be randomized to one of three experimental conditions. All participants will be provided information about colon cancer and screening options based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Screen for Life materials. Some participants also will be asked to read a personal narrative about colon cancer screening. This study will determine whether participant’s perceptions about and colorectal cancer screening intentions and behaviors differ by which information they read. Participants will complete surveys before, immediately after, and one month after randomization. To assess behavior change, as suggested by grant reviewers and the project officer, we added 6 and 12 month follow up surveys. Participants can complete all study requirements through the study website: http://HealthStudy.wustl.edu

Project description:Interventions: This study will use surveys to determine the acceptability of faecal and blood-based bowel screening strategies for triaging individuals with a higher than average risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) to colonoscopy. This will include individuals requiring colonoscopy in response to abnormal gastrointestinal symptoms, a significant family history of CRC, and/or a previous finding of polyps. Individuals invited into the study will be patients who are scheduled to undergo a colonoscopy due to one of these risk factors, and clinicians who are involved in the care of people undergoing colonoscopy. Individuals who are scheduled to undergo a colonoscopy for gastrointestinal symptoms or CRC surveillance at one of the approved study sites (Flinders Medical Centre, Noarlunga Health Service, Tennyson Centre Day Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospital) will be identified via clinic and colonoscopy booking lists for invitation into the study. A letter will be sent to eligible participants approximately 2-4 weeks prior to their scheduled colonoscopy to invite them to complete a survey before their procedure. All respondents to this initial survey will be invited to complete a follow-up survey approximately one month after their colonoscopy. Participants will have the option to complete the surveys online (via a link or by scanning a QR code) or through a paper copy sent to them along with a reply-paid envelope. Each survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete and will measure the acceptability of different bowel screening methods along with the following variables: previous clinical testing experiences and knowledge, health beliefs, health literacy, health-related quality of life, and fear of bowel cancer. Clinicians will be invited to complete a single online Primary outcome(s): A primary outcome for colonoscopy consumers will be their acceptability of faecal-based bowel screening tests for use in determining their need for colonoscopy. This will be assessed within the pre- and post-colonoscopy surveys using items that have been designed specifically for this study. [This will be assessed 2-4 weeks prior to and 4 weeks following colonoscopy. ];Another primary outcome for colonoscopy consumers will be their acceptability of blood-based bowel screening tests for use in determining their need for colonoscopy. This will be assessed within the pre- and post-colonoscopy surveys using items that have been designed specifically for this study. [This will be assessed 2-4 weeks prior to and 4 weeks following colonoscopy. ];A primary outcome for clinicians will be their acceptability of faecal-based bowel screening tests for use in triaging people with abnormal gastrointestinal symptoms to colonoscopy. This will be assessed within the single clinician survey using items that have been designed specifically for this study. [This will be assessed at any time following study invitation. ] Study Design: Purpose: Psychosocial;Duration: Longitudinal;Selection: Defined population;Timing: Prospective
