Shared Decision-making and Colorectal Cancer Screening

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Conduct a feasibility pilot RCT of a newly developed colorectal cancer screening (CRC) decision aid (DA) including 66 LHL adults 76-85 years recruited from community health centers. Hypotheses: Patients in the intervention group will be more likely to change their intentions to be screened with fewer patients with \<10 year LE and/or those with \>10 year LE and no risk factors intending to be screened and more with \>10 year LE and risk factors for CRC and/or those who have never been screened intending to be screened (primary outcome). The secondary outcomes are that the patients in the intervention group will have 1. increased knowledge of CRC screening options and the benefits and risks of these options; 2. increased SDM engagement; and 3. find the DA acceptable. Investigators also anticipate that at least 50% of eligible participants will choose to participate in the study.

Ages Eligible for Study:75 Years to 85 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:Yes
Standard Ages:OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Be between the ages of 75 and 85 years
  2. * Must be low health literacy (LHL), determined by participants' response to the validated LHL question, "How confident are you filling out medical forms by yourself?" with a response of, "somewhat to not at all confident."39-43
  3. * Have an educational level at community college or less
  1. * Patients who do not have the capacity to participate
  2. * Patients with dementia
