Participant Flow

Aim 2 Pilot Test: Web-based, single-interaction, intervention Aim 2 intervention development (focus groups and interviews)

Total N =139 (Aim 1 = 48; Aim 2 = 91) AIMS 1 \& 2 are independent. Aim 1 participants did NOT complete Aim 2. (AIM 2) Qualtrics panels recruited a national sample of (n=91) rural adults. Respondents from this national sample who did not meet the qualifying criteria were screened out by the Qualtrics platform and did not get randomized to one of the 3 arms of the web-based, intervention. ( AIM 1) participants (n=48) completed focus groups/interviews informing intervention content.

Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
High Interactive Virtual Human Administered Nutrition Module
The virtual health assistant will interactively collect nutrition information (alcohol, red meat, and processed meat intake) and report risk information back to users in visual and audio format virtual technology - high interactive: Participants engage with web-based cancer prevention content and answer a short series of questions designed to assess their baseline risk for colon cancer and dietary intake. Interactive nutrition risk feedback will be customized based on user input.
Low Interactive Virtual Human Module
Complete the current intervention module that includes items assessing alcohol and meat intake. virtual technology - low interactive: Participants engage with web-based cancer prevention content and answer a short series of questions designed to assess their baseline risk for colon cancer. Minimally interactive risk feedback will be delivered.
Attention Control Module
The attention control group, will complete a related module not related to colorectal cancer or nutrition non-colorectal cancer related module: Participants engage with web-based content not related to colorectal cancer or nutrition.
AIM 1 Focus Group and Interview Participants
a total of 48 participants completed focus groups and interviews to provide feedback on iteratively updated versions of the culturally tailored, web-based, intervention, and participate in user testing. These participants did NOT participate in the AIM 2 pilot testing of the 3-arm, randomized trial.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 2 hours

Two individual items assessed intentions to screen: 1. A single item measured intentions to screen for colorectal cancer (readiness to screen) adapted from (Boonyasiriwat, Hung, Hon, et. al, 2014.) Participants answer the following prompt: "Please indicate what best represents your plans for colorectal cancer screening". Response options str: 1 point = I am not planning to screen in the next 6 months; 2 points = I am thinking about screen, but not in the next 6 months; 3 points = I am considering screening in the next 6 months and 4 points for = I am already taking steps to screen in the next 6 months. Higher scores =higher readiness to screen (better outcome). Min. score = 1 ; Max. score =4. 2. a single item assessed intentions on a Likert Scale. Question: "I want to get screened for colorectal cancer" where: 1 = strongly disagree-7 = strongly agree). Min. score = 1 - Max. score is 7. Higher scores indicate a stronger desire to obtain screening (better outcome).
