Trial summary

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a multi-media presentation and survey to increase screening for colorectal cancer.

About this study

Official title: Tailored Touch-Screens for Colorectal Cancer Prevention in Urban Core Clinics

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a multi-media presentation and survey to increase screening for colorectal cancer. Content of this presentation is based on the concept of "implementation intentions," an advanced planning model taken from the Theory of Planned Behavior. The multi-media presentation is delivered in a touch-screen computer format and contains messages about colorectal cancer that are tailored to each participant based on individual survey responses. It is hypothesized that tailored messages and defining implementation intentions may have a relationship with completion of colorectal cancer screening.

Read the detailed description

The majority of the intervention will be delivered in primary care settings on low-cost touch-screen computers through multi-media audio-narrative and video messages. Studies have not tested the effectiveness of tailored communications specified to stated "implementation intentions" for improving CRC screening. A randomized design will test a comparison of generic information versus a multi-media tailored intervention that specifically addresses each participant's screening test preference, current CRC screening decisional state (Precaution Adoption Process Model), and specified to stated "implementation intentions" (the "when," "Where," and "how" details of screening.) Behavioral intervention materials in English and Spanish will be developed with the help of cultural experts, pilot tests, and interviews that will test salience and cultural appropriateness of audio, video, and graphic messages for low-income minorities and whites. The study will be conducted with 460 patients eligible for CRC screening and recruited while presenting for care in urban clinics. All participants will receive baseline touch-screen administered assessment and, depending on stated preference, be offered either immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT-InSureTM) or a colonoscopy. Participants will be randomized to either "C" (comparison group-computer delivered generic CRC information) or "TI2" (active intervention-computer delivered tailored messaging based on individual PAPM stage, behavioral constructs, and "implementation intentions"). A brief office exit survey will assess patient-provider discussions of CRC screening and satisfaction with computerized message materials. A 90-day post randomization follow-up telephone call assessment with all participants will reassess PAPM stage and perceived CRC screening barriers.

The primary outcome will be CRC screening completion at 90 days. Secondary outcomes will assess 90-day PAPM stage and perceived barriers among participants preferring various screening methods (iFOBT, Colonoscopy). This intervention will provide information on the utility of embedding a low-cost technologically advanced "implementation intentions" based behavioral intervention in primary care practice.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Touch 2 Screen and Touch screen intervention in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Allen A. Greiner, MD, MPH at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CRC screening completion (time frame: 90 Days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00594113, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Jun 2012.
