Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

LATINOS CARES Toolkit

Participants assigned to the LATINOS CARES condition will receive an I-FOBT kit, DVD and photonovella booklet from the study coordinator. The participant will view the DVD in a private area (headphones are available) using a portable DVD player in clinic before seeing the provider. The DVD will be about 8-10 minutes long. The participant will take the LATINOS CARES toolkit and I-FOBT home after the clinic visit. The participant will be instructed to re-review the materials and complete the I-FOBT stool sampling at home.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Immunochemical Fecal Occult Blood Test (I-FOBT) Kit

Intervention Type OTHER

Both intervention groups will receive an I-FOBT kit (by study coordinator) with verbal and written instructions in Spanish on how to complete the stool sampling at home within 1 week, and mail the completed kit in the pre-addressed, postage paid mailer. Patients with abnormal results will receive a call explaining the meaning of an abnormal I-FOBT and encouraging them to take specific next steps.
