Trial Outcomes & Findings for Test Up Now Education Program (NCT NCT04304001)

NCT ID: NCT04304001

Last Updated: 2024-10-29

Results Overview

The colorectal cancer screening measure asks about completion of colonoscopy and blood stool tests. These tests are described prior to questions about completion of each test. The first question asks when was the most recent stool blood test (\> 1 year but \< 2 years ago; \> 2 years but not more than 5 years ago; or \> 5 years). The second question asks when was the most recent colonoscopy (a year ago or less; \> 1 year but \< 5 years ago; \> 5 years but not more than 10 years ago; or \> 10 years). Colorectal cancer screening receipt will be determined based on self-report and chart review to determine screening rates for each screening modality. Those answering a "a year ago or less" for the most recent stool blood test and "less than 10 years ago" for most recent colonoscopy are considered up to date.

Intervention arm participants will be scheduled to receive the Community Health Advisor intervention within 4 to 6 weeks after enrollment, a Fecal Immunochemical Test kit, a mailed targeted colorectal cancer brochure, and a follow-up telephone survey at 3- and 12-months post-intervention Community Health Advisor: Intervention arm participants will receive one 45-minute face-to-face meeting followed by two Community Health Advisor phone calls in one-week intervals over a period of three weeks beginning within one month following baseline survey completion. These colorectal cancer educational activities delivered by the Community Health Advisors will include the use of National Cancer Institute colorectal cancer resources and materials, including an Screen to Save media presentation, and colorectal cancer educational brochures. The intervention will follow a conversation guide/standard script for intervention fidelity. Community Health Advisors will take notes following each interaction to document the call length, deviations from the script, and tone of the call. Participants will receive an additional text message reminder once a week for an additional three weeks - with instructions for participants to text "yes" to confirm they received the message - for a total of six weeks of intervention delivery. The personalized text messages will have positive tones and include short messages about the benefits of colorectal cancer screening.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

The colorectal cancer screening measure asks about completion of colonoscopy and blood stool tests. These tests are described prior to questions about completion of each test. The first question asks when was the most recent stool blood test (\> 1 year but \< 2 years ago; \> 2 years but not more than 5 years ago; or \> 5 years). The second question asks when was the most recent colonoscopy (a year ago or less; \> 1 year but \< 5 years ago; \> 5 years but not more than 10 years ago; or \> 10 years). Colorectal cancer screening receipt will be determined based on self-report and chart review to determine screening rates for each screening modality. Those answering a "a year ago or less" for the most recent stool blood test and "less than 10 years ago" for most recent colonoscopy are considered up to date.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Participants are asked four multiple choice questions and 10 True/False questions to test knowledge about colorectal cancer and colorectal cancer screening. The range of the scale is 0-14. Each answer is scored as correct or incorrect. A score of 11 to 14 is considered "high". A score of 7 to 10 is considered "average". A score less than 7 is considered "low."

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

A validated 4-item measure of colorectal cancer screening self-efficacy (alpha = 0.82) asks participants to respond using a Likert scale about colorectal cancer screening test difficulty, finding time, ease of completing the test, and scheduling the test. Total scale scores range from 1 to 4. A score of 3 to 4 is considered "low self-efficacy" and a score of 1 to 2 is considered "high self-efficacy."
