#CuttingCRC: Barbershop-Based Trial & Colorectal Cancer

NCT03733197 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this behavior change focused, culture-specific, pilot, peer intervention is to target masculinity barriers to medical care (MBMC) considering a range of psychosocial factors associated with uptake of CRC screening (fecal immunochemical test (FIT)) among African-American men. Barbershops will serve as intervention sites and barbers will be trained in the technique of Motivational Interviewing (MI) which will guide the barbers to encourage their clients with culturally relevant messaging to take a FIT kit home and then send to the lab for processing (uptake). The main questions it aims to answer are the feasibility of recruitment, sample size estimation, preliminary efficacy, and the acceptability of barbers to deliver culture-specific messages that aim to overcome masculinity barriers to medical care.

Researchers will compare the culture-specific intervention with a control arm, where barbers provide their client an evidenced-based American Cancer Society brochure on colorectal cancer screening to understand if barbers peers using MI and culturally relevant messaging better overcome masculinity barriers to medical care than the barber using the brochure alone.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Culture Specific

We anticipate the culture-specific arm developed minimally will include two core components: barbers as motivational interviewers, and (2) fecal immunochemical test (FIT) kits distributed by barbers. If we choose this route for the culture-specific arm, preliminary data from our barbers suggest I teach the barbers the MI technique using content that stems from Aim 1 findings. Additional components for this arm may be developed during the APEASE process.

BEHAVIORAL

Control

the (control) arm will include an informational CRC screening brochure developed by the American Cancer Society plus a FIT kit distributed by the barbers.
