About this study

Official title: Re-invitation to Screening Colonoscopy: a Randomized Controlled Trial of Reminding Letter and Educational Intervention on Attendance in Nonresponders to Initial Invitation to Screening Colonoscopy

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of reminding letter and educational intervention on attendance to screening colonoscopy in nonresponders to initial invitation to screening colonoscopy.

Read the detailed description

NordICC (The NordICC Initiative on Colorectal Cancer, NCT00883792) is a multicenter randomised trial to investigate the effect of screening colonoscopy on CRC incidence and mortality. In Poland, in Warsaw area, at least 10,000 subjects 55-64 years of age are to be invited to screening colonoscopy. A personal letter of invitation containing date and hour of appointment is mailed to every individual randomised to the screening group. Up to 60% of invitees do not respond to the initial invitation and reminding letter. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of reminding letter and educational intervention on attendance to screening colonoscopy in nonresponders to initial invitation to screening colonoscopy.

The program of the meeting is tailored to individual needs, doubts, and concerns of the participating group as assessed using brief survey at the beginning of the meeting. The major points to be discussed are: risk and benefit of screening, colorectal cancer risk, pain and sedation, preparation to colonoscopy, consecutive stages of the procedure, comfort and embarrassment.
