Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a newly developed patient education document concerning colorectal cancer screening will be better understood and have greater effects on patient knowledge of and motivation for screening than a standard educational document.

Experimental patient education document

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

New colorectal cancer screening patient education document

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The newly developed educational document was created accounting for health behavioral models (such as the Expanded Health Behavior Model, Social Cognitive Theory, and the Transtheoretical Model) and related research studies indicating the factors that most strongly and positively influence patients' cognitions regarding colorectal cancer screening and are, in turn, predictive of actual colorectal cancer screening behavior.
