Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a newly developed patient education document concerning colorectal cancer screening will be better understood and have greater effects on patient knowledge of and motivation for screening than a standard educational document.

Conditions

  • Colorectal Neoplasms

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

New colorectal cancer screening patient education document

The newly developed educational document was created accounting for health behavioral models (such as the Expanded Health Behavior Model, Social Cognitive Theory, and the Transtheoretical Model) and related research studies indicating the factors that most strongly and positively influence patients' cognitions regarding colorectal cancer screening and are, in turn, predictive of actual colorectal cancer screening behavior.

BEHAVIORAL

Traditional colorectal cancer screening education document

The traditional educational document is a slightly edited version of materials freely available on the National Cancer Institute (NCI) web site, used in this study with the permission of the NCI.
