Trial summary

Physicians face a challenge in promoting colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) in the face of multiple competing demands. A decision aid (DA) that clarifies patient preferences and improves decision quality could aid shared decision making (SDM) and be effective at increasing CRCS rates. Read more about this study

About this study

Physicians face a challenge in promoting colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) in the face of multiple competing demands. A decision aid (DA) that clarifies patient preferences and improves decision quality could aid shared decision making (SDM) and be effective at increasing CRCS rates. However, exactly how such DA improves SDM is not clear. This 4-year R01 study funded by the National Cancer Institute seeks to provide detailed understanding of how an interactive DA affects patient-physician communication and SDM, and ultimately CRCS adherence.

Read the detailed description

This two-armed randomized controlled trial (300 patients/arm) will compare Colorectal Web (CW), the interactive DA, to a non-interactive control website in ten practices in Metro Detroit. Patients will be adults aged 50 years and over, not current on CRCS. In the clinic before the patient-physician encounter, participants will complete a Patient Baseline Survey. They will be randomized to CW or the control website. Data will be collected after the patient reviews the respective website (Post-Intervention Survey), during the patient-physician encounter (digital audio recording), and after it (Post-Encounter Survey). Chart audit will be performed six months after the encounter to determine whether the patient underwent CRCS.

ControlNo interventionSame information is presented in the control website as is found in the intervention website, but no interactive component: preferences and risk assessment.
Intervention with Colorectal WebsiteActive comparatorIntervention website includes an interactive component including preferences and risk assessment.
Receives: Behavioral: Colorectal Web

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Preferred Screening Type as Reported by Chart Audits

    Chart audits were conducted 6 months after the participant's study visit to determine if screening had occurred and if the type of screen was the same as the participant's preferred type of screening.

    Measured: 6 months following intervention a chart audit will be conducted to determine if CRCS was completed.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Reporting Preferred Screening Type as Reported by Chart Audits (time frame: 6 months following intervention a chart audit will be conducted to determine if CRCS was completed.). 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 NCT01514786, 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.
