Summary

Precision prevention holds great promise for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening but has not been adequately explored. A patient's chance of having an advanced colorectal neoplasm (ACN), i.e. a cancer or precancerous polyp in the colon, significantly affects the comparative effectiveness of approved tests. Giving patients a decision aid with information about their risk for ACN, and giving their providers similar information, could help patients and providers decide if colonoscopy or a non-invasive test (such as the fecal immunochemical test) is more appropriate. This could improve decision making and increase uptake of CRC screening, which are the investigative team's long-term goals.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

PATIENTS will be eligible if they are:

  • age 50 - 75 years
  • have not had a colonoscopy performed in the last 10 years, sigmoidoscopy in the last 5 years, fecal occult blood testing (FOBT or FIT) in the last year, or Cologuard in the last 3 years
  • have not had a colonoscopy since turning 50 years old
  • have a scheduled appointment with a provider who agreed to participate in the study

PROVIDERS will be eligible if they are:

  • a physician (MD or DO), nurse practitioner (NP), or physicians assistant (PA) practicing at a partner research site

Exclusion Criteria

PATIENTS will be excluded if they are:

  • undergoing workup for symptoms consistent with CRC, such as unexplained weight loss, change in bowel habit, or rectal bleeding
  • have a diagnosis or medical history conferring elevated risk for CRC including a previous adenomatous polyp or CRC, inflammatory bowel disease, high-risk syndromes, or a significant family history of CRC (two or more first degree relatives (FDR) with CRC or one FDR with a CRC diagnosis prior to age 60)
  • are unable to speak and read English
  • previously participated in any research projects regarding colorectal cancer screening or colonoscopy including, but not limited to the investigators' previous studies
  • members of the study team will not be participating in the study; therefore, patients who have a scheduled appointment with any member of the study team will not be eligible.

PROVIDERS will be excluded if they:

  • do not have patients between 50 - 75 years old.
