Filter by:The aim of this project is to assess the impact of a health literacy (HL) intervention combining HL and CRC screening training for general practitioners with a short brochure and video targeting eligible patients to increase CRC screening and other secondary outcomes in four underserved geographic areas in France. The investigators will use a two-arm randomized controlled cluster trial at 8 clusters (2 per area) primarily serving underserved populations across 4 geographic areas in France with 32 primary care physicians and 1024 patients recruited.
This study will test the effectiveness of an outreach strategy to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in African Americans. The investigators will recruit 250 African Americans ages 45-64 years who are not up-to-date with CRC screening or have never been screened, with the goal to evaluate screening knowledge, behavior, and intervention effects on CRC screening outcomes. Participants will be randomly assigned to the TUNE-UP intervention or a control group. The TUNE-UP intervention arm will utilize a community health advisor (CHA) to encourage return of stool blood testing kits through cell phone outreach. The control group will receive educational materials about CRC screening plus a resource list but no CHA counseling support or cellphone / text contact. The primary study outcome is receipt of CRC screening (colonoscopy or FIT) following the intervention. The secondary outcomes will include CRC screening knowledge, self-efficacy (confidence to receive CRC screening), intention to screen, and follow-up in the case of an abnormal test result. The research objective is to test the CHA intervention effectiveness for promoting stool blood testing as a preferred screening test in an under-screened African American population.
This project aims to examine the impact of different interventions designed to help individualize colorectal cancer (CRC) screening decisions in adults aged 76-85. Clinicians will be assigned by chance to one of two arms. In the Intervention arm, clinician participants will complete a training course and will also be notified of patients in the target age group who are due for a discussion about CRC screening. In the Comparator arm, clinician participants will be notified of their patients in the target age group with an upcoming visit who are due for a discussion about CRC screening. The investigators expect that patients seen by clinicians in the intervention arm will report more involvement in the decision making process, be more knowledgeable about the risks and benefits of CRC screening, and will have better quality decisions. Further, the investigators expect that the physicians in the intervention arm will have greater confidence in and demonstrate more skills for conducting shared decision making conversations as compared to those in the control arm.
This study is designed to determine the optimal bowel preparation regimen for PillCam® COLON 2 Capsule Endoscopy System (CCE) procedures in average risk patients. Patients will be randomized to receive one of two bowel preparation regimens prior to PillCam CCE.
