About this study

Official title: Screen to Save Initiative

This clinical trial studies how well educational intervention works in improving knowledge and screening rates of colorectal cancer. An educational intervention, such as viewing an inflatable colon, PowerPoint presentation, or flip books/flipcharts, may help improve knowledge about colorectal cancer and how often people get checked for colorectal cancers.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To increase colorectal cancer (CRC) knowledge, attitudes, positive behavior change, intent for screening, and screening among at-risk groups.

OUTLINE:

Participants attend educational sessions comprising of an inflatable colon interactive exhibit that allows visitors to walk through a colon while seeing images, or a PowerPoint presentation that contains messages that are tailored to meet the cultural and linguistic needs of Black/African Americans, Appalachians, and Hispanics/Latinos, and flip books/flip charts. Participants also receive a copy of the study information sheet which contains the basic elements of informed consent and a pre-education session knowledge survey.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in knowledge and degree to which reported intentions regarding colorectal cancer screening are related to the educational session

    Change in knowledge will be examined as a function of the important covariates: race/ethnicity, sex, age, education and primary language. A paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be used to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference in pre and post session scores. The paired t-test provides a hypothesis test to determine whether pre and post session assessment mean scores differ from each other in a significant way under the assumptions that the paired differences are independent and identically normally distributed. The test statistic is t with n-1 degrees of f

    Measured: Up to two years

  2. Change in knowledge and strength of intention to be screened

    Will be correlated with key outcomes, specifically actual screening and actions promoting colorectal cancer screening (e.g., encouraging colorectal screening with family/friends). Multivariable logistic regression analyses will be conducted to examine the impact of knowledge change and strength of intentions on these binary outcomes (screened/not screened and encouraged/did not encourage colorectal screening) controlling for important covariates such as sex, race/ethnicity, age, education and primary language. A paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be used to determine whether there

    Measured: Up to two years

  3. Frequency of reported family history of colorectal cancer

    Will be described in total and as a function of specific racial/ethnic groups.

    Measured: Up to two years

  4. Participants' plans for future screening

    Will examine relationships between stated plans and key covariates.

    Measured: Up to two years

  5. Reasons reported for not obtaining colorectal screening

    Response categories will be examined by key covariates.

    Measured: Up to two years

  6. Self-reported intentions to engage in behavior change to reduce risk of colorectal cancer

    Will be examined by race/ethnicity, sex, education, and health insurance/healthcare coverage.

    Measured: Up to two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Educational Intervention and Survey Administration in people with Colorectal Carcinoma, 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 1 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 9 Jan 2025. 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?

Change in knowledge and degree to which reported intentions regarding colorectal cancer screening are related to the educational session (time frame: Up to two years). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Jan 2025.
