About this study

Official title: Community-Based Participatory Research(CBPR)Strategies in Increasing Colorectal Cancer(CRC)Screening in Participants in Ohio Appalachia

The purpose of this project is to implement and evaluate an intervention to increase and sustain rates of use of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among men and women aged 50 and older in 6 intervention counties in Appalachia Ohio. Researchers will employ community-based participatory research (CBPR) in combination with two CRC interventions that have been developed and piloted with community partners to improve CRC screening

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Utilize CBPR methods to develop specific county-level media campaigns and a clinic-based chart reminder for 12 Ohio Appalachia counties focused on CRC screening or an attention control message.

II. Implement and test, using a group-randomized design, a staggered county-wide intervention program that consists of county-specific media campaigns, clinic-specific chart reminder systems, and a combination of both strategies in 6 randomly selected intervention counties vs. an attention control condition in 6 randomly selected control counties.

III. Utilize process and outcome evaluation strategies to assess the efficacy of each strategy.

IV. Utilize the results to plan the dissemination of the intervention into 36 Appalachian counties in 6 additional states of the Appalachia Community Cancer Network (ACCN) in a subsequent study.

OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

Arm I: Participants are exposed to the "Get Behind Your Health!" media campaign intervention comprising 3 phases: the media campaign, the medical chart reminder, and a combination of media campaign and chart reminder. Participants also undergo telephone interviews during years 2-4.

Arm II: Participants are exposed to a media campaign, patient education material in clinics, and a combination related to healthy eating, "PEACHES" (Promoting Education in Appalachia on Cancer and Healthy Eating Styles). Participants also undergo telephone interviews during years 2-4.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rates of colorectal cancer screening-within-guidelines (status obtained by medical record review).

    The primary research question is whether the intervention will affect the rate of CRC screening-within-guidelines among age-eligible residents in the participating counties. The primary outcome is CRC screening-within-guidelines status defined as having any one of the following: 1) FOBT in the past year; 2) flexible sigmoidoscopy in the past 5 years; 3) FOBT annually + flexible sigmoidoscopy in the past 5 years; 4) double-contrast barium enema in the past 5 years; or 5) colonoscopy in the past 10 years.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Confounding - Measurement of prognostic factors measured at baseline for evidence of any imbalance

    Though randomization of 12 counties to each condition from within strata reduces the likelihood that there will be any imbalance in important prognostic factors between the two conditions, confounding remains a possibility in any single realization of an experiment. Left alone, such imbalance could confound the true relationship between condition and the outcomes. To avoid this problem, we will examine prognostic factors measured at baseline for evidence of any imbalance; if it is present, we will perform secondary analyses in which we repeat the primary analysis adding the potential confounders as additional covariates, attending carefully to issues of measurement error which can create problems for such adjustments. Regression adjustment cannot completely correct for confounding, but to the extent that the confounders are well measured and properly modeled, the adjusted analysis will reduce the confounding.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Effect Modification

    Other secondary analyses will explore the assumption of homogeneity of the intervention effect across subgroups of participants. Though power will be limited for interactions, we will add subgroup main effects and interactions in order to explore possible effect modification. The primary subgroup variables will be gender and age group (age 55-64 vs. age 65+).

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing "Get Behind your health" and Peaches in people with Colon Cancer and Rectal Cancer, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 25 Apr 2022. 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?

Rates of colorectal cancer screening-within-guidelines (status obtained by medical record review). (time frame: Up to 4 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Apr 2022.
