Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying an interactive computer program to see how well it works compared with a brochure in increasing colorectal cancer screening among African Americans.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* Compare rates of participation in fecal occult blood testing and endoscopic screening (colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy) among African-Americans who receive an interactive computer intervention (ICI) versus a non-tailored colorectal cancer screening brochure.
* Examine mediators and moderators of intervention effectiveness as depicted in the conceptual model.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Participants are stratified according to site, age (≤ 65 years old vs \> 65 years old) and gender. Participants are randomized to one of two arms.
* Arm I (non-tailored colorectal cancer screening brochure): Participants undergo a baseline interview via telephone and receive a colorectal cancer screening brochure in the clinic prior to visit with healthcare provider. Participants then undergo telephone interviews at 1 week, 6 months, and 15 months.
* Arm II (interactive computer intervention \[ICI\]): Participants undergo a baseline interview via telephone and complete an ICI in the clinic prior to visit with healthcare provider. Participants then undergo telephone interviews at 1 week, 6 months, and 15 months.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Non-tailored CRC screening brochure
Participants undergo a baseline interview via telephone and receive a non-tailored CRC screening brochure in the clinic prior to visit with healthcare provider. Participants then undergo telephone interviews at 1 week, 6 months, and 15 months.
Non-tailored CRC screening brochure
Patients receive written educational material about colorectal cancer and prompting to talk to their doctor about getting tested.
Interactive computer intervention
Participants undergo a baseline interview via telephone and complete an interactive computer intervention in the clinic prior to visit with healthcare provider. Participants then undergo telephone interviews at 1 week, 6 months, and 15 months.
