Study Description

Brief Summary: This study is a three-arm randomized controlled trial to implement and evaluate the relative effects of: 1) clinic-focused intervention; 2) combined patient- and clinic-focused intervention, and 3) usual care on the provision of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in primary care clinics. The study will also examine the relative effects of the intervention conditions on secondary behavioral outcomes (e.g., clinician-patient discussions about CRC screening) and on intermediate outcome measures of attitudes, beliefs, opinions, and social influence surrounding CRC screening among patients, clinicians, and clinical staff. The target population includes average-risk patients aged 50-75 years, clinicians, and clinical staff within the primary care setting. The intervention will be implemented within primary care clinics in two managed care organizations (MCOs). The intervention targets the following CRC screening modalities: fecal occult blood test (FOBT), flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and double contrast barium enema.
