Summary

Among Latinos, a fast growing and underserved population, Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer death in men and in women. Compared to non-Latino whites, Latinos are less likely to be diagnosed with localized CRC and more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stage disease. Of the recommended CRC screening tests, a colonoscopy allows for both the detection and removal of precancerous and cancerous polyps. Although screening colonoscopies can detect and prevent CRC, more than half of Latinos have not received a screening colonoscopy within the recommended time frame (one screening colonoscopy per ten years).

The purpose of this study is to develop and begin to test an electronically-delivered motivational interviewing progressive web application (e-MI app), called Motívate. The Motívate app will be offered in both English and Spanish to patients who self-identify as Latino/a/x, after they receive a referral for a screening colonoscopy.

Motívate

The Motívate app can be used in English or Spanish and involves four sequential phases. 1) The engaging phase uses videos to welcome participants. 2) Patients willing to discuss the decision to have a screening colonoscopy will answer multiple-choice questions on colorectal cancer prevention - completing the focusing phase. Optional videos will offer additional information. 3) The evoking phase consists of interactive Motivational Interviewing exercises to help participants elicit motivations to get a screening colonoscopy. 4) During the planning phase, participants will view a video that will discuss the steps needed to prepare for the colonoscopy.
