Filter by:The purpose of this study is to increase colorectal cancer screening by implementing a community-wide shared decision-making (SDM) intervention, which embeds shared decision making within clinical practice and also uses an extensive community engagement campaign. The investigators hypothesize that colorectal cancer screening adherence will be higher in the intervention group (participating communities) compared to the usual care control group (non-participating comparison communities).
To establish whether provision of numerical data, framed as event rates and illustrated by pictograms, and including figures for all-cause mortality, affects subjects' attitudes to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Design and Intervention. Randomised questionnaire and telephone study comparing the responses of a control group given the standard National Health Service (NHS) CRC screening information with the responses of an intervention group given the same information but enhanced with additional numerical and pictorial information. Setting
The investigators overall goal is to develop, implement, test, and disseminate an intervention to increase colorectal cancer screening rates at Kaiser Permanente (KP) by providing home fecal immunochemical test kits (FIT) to eligible patients aged 50 and older who participate in annual influenza vaccination campaigns. The investigators hypothesis is that the FLU-FIT Program will be an effective method to increase colorectal cancer screening rates at Kaiser Permanente.
This study will investigate whether patient navigation can increase rates of colorectal cancer screening among linguistically and culturally diverse disadvantaged patients served by urban community health centers.
Colorectal cancer screening remains lower than optimal. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of phone-based motivational interviewing versus tailored communication versus usual care in increasing CRC screening in primary care clinics.
The primary goal of this research project is to conduct a 5-year prospective randomized trial of a theory-based intervention to increase patient completion of colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) among patients ages 50 to 64 years old.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate efficacy (i.e. reaching the cecum) and safety of the Invendo C20 Colonoscopy System
Ancillary Aim #1 We will evaluate intervention effects by comparing binary outcomes for screening (yes/no) in the primary SOS study. In this aim, we propose to calculate actual screening rates by use of time-to-event analyses (also known as survival analysis). The outcome variable of interest is the first time since randomization to have CRCS, either based on FOBT, FS, or CS. Knowing screening rates will not only enable us to make comparisons between groups, but also over time. Ancillary Aims #2 and #3 We will recruit additional participants for two ancillary study aims. First, we will enroll patients age 50-74 years using the same criteria as for the primary SOS study, which includes neither history of colorectal cancer nor evidence of life-limiting disease. Participants who return the questionnaire, consent and considered eligible will be randomized to receive one of three different at-home fecal test kits. The kits will be returned to the GH centralized laboratory, and participants will be informed about lab results using standard GH pathways. Participants who have a test-positive will receive a series of two follow-up surveys (first at 1-2 weeks post result and second at 4-months post result). A comparison group of test-negative results will be matched based on selected criteria, and this group will also receive the follow-up surveys. Participants at both time intervals who do not return the survey via mail will be called and if available, administered the questionnaire via phone.
The purpose of the study is to determine if a Web-based intervention increases physician rates of colorectal cancer recommendation rates in a group of physicians participating in the American Board of Internal Medicine's Maintenance of Certification Program. This study will also compare the content of practice improvement plans submitted by the diplomats in each study arm to determine the components of the plans that are associated with colorectal cancer rates.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether patient outreach is effective at increasing compliance with preventive screenings ordered by their physician. We hypothesize that educational outreach may increase completion rates.
