colorectal cancer deaths. Screening is
beneficial for: (1) Detection and removal
of precancerous polyps, resulting in
patients recovering without progression
to a diagnosis of cancer, and (2) early
detection of CRC for more effective
treatment and improved survival.
Regular CRC screening is recommended
for people aged 50 years and older.
Many screening tests are widely
available and screening has been shown
to be effective in reducing CRC
mortality. Despite this demonstrated
effectiveness, CRC screening remains
low. Some reasons attributed to the low
screening rates include limited public
awareness of CRC and the benefits of
screening, failure of health care
providers to recommend screening to
patients, and inefficient surveillance
and support systems in many health
care settings.
The purpose of this one-time study is
to evaluate and understand the effect of
a multi-component intervention on CRC
screening rates in primary care clinics.
The study will also examine the effects
of the intervention conditions on
behavioral outcomes (e.g., clinicianpatient discussions about CRC
screening) and on attitudes, beliefs,
opinions, and social influence
surrounding CRC screening among
patients. The target population includes
average-risk patients aged 50–80 years,
clinicians, and clinic support staff
within the primary care clinics in two
managed care organizations (MCOs).
There are three tasks in this study. In
Task 1, 140 primary care clinicians will
complete a survey assessing
demographics, opinions about
preventive services, CRC screening
training and practices, satisfaction with
CRC screening, and CRC screening
beliefs, facilitators, and barriers. The
survey will be administered to primary
care clinicians post-intervention. In
Task 2, 140 clinic support staff will

complete a survey assessing
demographics, work-related
responsibilities, opinions about
preventive services, CRC training and
practices, satisfaction with CRC
screening, and CRC screening beliefs,
facilitators and barriers. The survey will
be administered to clinic support staff
post intervention. In Task 3, clinic
patients will complete a survey
assessing demographics, health status,
receipt of previous CRC screening and
other preventive services, knowledge
and opinions about CRC and CRC
screening, and social support. The
survey will be administered to 3307
patients pre-intervention and 3307
patients post-intervention. Of these, 972
patients will receive both the pre- and
post-intervention survey.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
survey.
