Colorectal Cancer Screening Assessment Study

Summary

This study, led by the American Samoa Community Cancer Coalition's INdigenous Samoan Partnership to Initiate Research Excellence (INSPIRE) and the UH Cancer Center's project team including Dr. Cassel, will utilize a community-based and culturally relevant process to assess the uptake of fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) using tailored colorectal cancer patient education materials for those with inadequate health literacy. Our primary outcomes include: 1) process to develop "suitable" and "comprehensible" health promotion materials for populations in English and Samoan with various health literacy levels, 2) commitment to use the FOBT Colocare home kit, and 3) use of a FOBT Colocare home kit.
