Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate whether an educational tool about colorectal cancer (CRC) completed on a computer that helps patients clarify their CRC screening preferences will lead to increased screening rates for CRC compared to standard information delivered via computer.

Conditions

  • Colorectal Neoplasms

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Information

A computer based educational overview of CRC and CRC test options will be presented to the subject. The subject will be given a handout with a brief description of each of the screening options and will include the test that they have chosen as their preferred test. The subjects will be asked to take this handout to their upcoming clinic appointment and to discuss the screening options with their care provider.

BEHAVIORAL

Preference-tailored Information

A preference elicitation exercise that will generate a list of the three top attributes for the subject and the CRC screening test most consistent with these attributes. Subjects will be provided with a handout to take to their clinic appointment as the Standard Information group does, but with the addition of a listing of their top attributes and the test most consistent with their top attributes.
