Increasing Colorectal and Breast Cancer Screening in Women

Summary

This study compares the efficacy (adherence and stage) of four interventions to promote colorectal (CRC) and breast cancer (BC) screenings among women ages 50 to 75. They are:

1. usual care;
2. a TIWeb (tailored intervention Website)
3. a CSC (cancer screening call) and
4. TIWeb + a CSC. This study also compares the cost-effectiveness of the 4 interventions to promote CRC and BC screening among women ages 50 to 75.

Conditions

• Breast Cancer Female
• Colorectal Cancer

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

TIWeb

Intervention: TIWeb program is interactive and tailored to the participant's individual beliefs and demographics. Individuals receiving the TIWeb will be given information that allows them to call and receive an FOBT kit in the mail or schedule an appropriate CRC test and/or mammogram.

BEHAVIORAL

CSC

Intervention: CSC - a telephone counseling call during which the participant is given the opportunity to complete CRC screening (FOBT or a colonoscopy) and/or mammography screening.The CSC included tailored counseling as well as the ability to schedule BC and CRC screening tests.

BEHAVIORAL

UC

Intervention: The usual care group received usual care that varies dependent upon the practice setting.

BEHAVIORAL

TIWeb+CSC

Intervention: TIWeb + CSC ((Tailored web intervetion+Cancer screening) group receive a mailed TIWeb, which is followed in four weeks by a CSC with the same opportunity to receive FOBT kits or schedule a colonoscopy and/or mammogram. The nurse counselor, knowing the participant is a good candidate for screening tests, will be trained to schedule CRC or BC screening appointments or to mail FOBT kits to individuals in the intervention groups even if they have not had a recent clinic visit.
