Summary

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

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. 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.
