U01 CRC Project for Vietnamese Americans

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third highest cause of mortality in Vietnamese and Asian Americans. CRC incidence is rising rapidly in Vietnamese Americans, but they have among the lowest rates of CRC screening (14%) and are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stage disease, which is highly preventable. Over 85% of Vietnamese Americans in our region (PA, NJ and NYC) are foreign-born with limited English proficiency, have low SES, and live in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. Many lack knowledge about CRC risks and screening benefits and have limited access to culturally appropriate preventive care. Center for Asian Health, Temple University will be working with Vietnamese CBOs to address their critical health disparities. The investigators will test the hypothesis that the proposed multilevel CRC intervention will yield higher CRC screening rates compared to the control at 12-month follow-up. This project represents the first large-scale community-based randomized controlled trial of a multilevel, culturally-appropriate intervention to increase CRC screening among underserved Vietnamese. If effective, this innovative CRC intervention can be used as a model program that has potential impact, generalizability and sustainability in Asian American and other underserved ethnic communities.

Small Media Interventions to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening Among Chinese Americans

Project description:There have been few studies of small media interventions to promote colorectal cancer screening among Chinese Americans. Based on the results of strong preliminary studies on the promotion of colorectal cancer screening among Asian American populations, this community-academic research team propose to develop a culturally and linguistically appropriate traditional small media print brochure and a novel small media electronic audio-visual application accessible through mobile applications and through a website to promote CRC screening in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. The team will test in a randomized controlled trial in 3 healthcare systems the efficacy of a combination of these small media interventions and a mailed patient reminder compared to usual care on increasing CRC screening among Chinese American patients.

Lay Health Worker Outreach in Increasing Colorectal Cancer Screening in Asian Americans

Project description:This randomized clinical trial studies how well a lay health worker outreach works in increasing colorectal cancer screening in Asian Americans. Training community members to educate participants about colorectal cancer and its prevention may improve colorectal cancer screening rates in Asian Americans.

A Culturally-adapted Colorectal Cancer Screening Decision Aid Designed for American Indians

Project description:Experts note that in order to continue reducing the US cancer burden, it is critical that investigators "more completely apply discoveries in cancer prevention we have already made." Thus, it is important to research strategies that aim to improve application of effective colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention and screening tests among underserved populations like American Indians (AI).CRC is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death among AI; yet, one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when detected early. Increased use of recommended CRC screening tests among men and women ages 50-75 have contributed to nearly 50% declines in US CRC mortality since 1990. However, recent evidence indicates AI have not observed equitable improvements. The investigators propose to build upon our experience addressing CRC screening in underserved populations and strong partnerships with North Carolina tribal partners to gain new insight about a patient-centered, culturally appropriate strategy to increase AI CRC screening.

AANCART Research Project on Lay Health Workers and Asian Americans

Project description:This is a behavioral research study to evaluate the effectiveness of a type of health education, lay health worker (LHWs), on increasing the use of a routine health behavior, colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, among Asian Americans, who underutilize such screening. Using quantitative and qualitative methods and a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, the project will develop and implement a group randomized controlled trial to evaluate LHW effectiveness in promoting CRC screening among Asian Americans age 50 to 75. The investigators will conduct focus groups and individual interviews with community participants to revise training and survey materials developed in prior projects. The investigators will recruit LHWs to be randomly assigned to the intervention arm and to the comparison arm. The LHWs will each recruit 15 participants from their social network. Intervention LHWs will be taught to teach their participants about CRC screening through 2 outreach sessions and 2 telephone calls aimed at increasing their CRC screening receipt. LHWs and participants in the comparison group will receive a bilingual CRC brochure as well as 2 lectures on healthy nutrition for cardiovascular health delivered by a health educator and an optional post- intervention LHW outreach session on CRC screening. Effectiveness of the intervention will be measured by pre-intervention and post-intervention surveys of community participants’ CRC screening behaviors. The investigators will also conduct ethnographic observations of LHWs and their participants during the small group sessions and post- intervention focus groups to understand how such a health education approach may work.

Colorectal Cancer Screening Intervention Trial

Project description:Colorectal cancer is the second deadliest among cancers and disproportionately affects African Americans. The Colorectal Cancer Screening Intervention Trial(CCSIT) project has as its goal to test three interventions designed to increase screening rates among medically underserved African Americans in the Metropolitan Atlanta area. It is designed to increase awareness of modifiable risk factors and promote the benefits of screening as a means of early detection of colorectal cancer. mportance of being screened for colorectal cancer,African Americans continue to be disproportionately affected by this disease.

Race-specific patterns of epigenetic aging and age-associated differential methylation in normal rectal biopsies: Implications for the biology of aging and its relationship to rectal cancer

Project description:Approximately 90% of colorectal cancer (CRC) develop over the age of 50, highlighting the im-portant role of aging in CRC risk. African Americans (AAs) shoulder a greater CRC burden than European Americans (EA), and are more likely to develop CRC at a younger age. The effects of aging in AA and EA normal rectal tissue have yet to be defined. Here, we performed epige-nome-wide DNA methylation analysis in the first, large-scale biracial cohort of normal rectum (n=140 samples)

Choose It and Use It

Project description:The goal of this study is to improve use of colorectal cancer screening among screening eligible African Americans who are served by Federally Qualified Health Centers in Michigan. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To what extent to individual prefer and select to complete screening with colonoscopy versus stool-based (FIT Kit or sDNA) options? * Can full completion of (i.e. follow-through with) screening with a selected modality be enhanced by delivery of a culturally targeted intervention? Participants will learn about colonoscopy, FIT Kit and sDNA as recommended and widely used screening options. They will select a modality to complete their own screening with. Participants will then be randomized to one of three arms (usual care, standard intervention, culturally targeted intervention). Researchers will compare the extent to which intervention arms enhance completion rates across each of the three screening modalities.
