Shared Decision-making and Colorectal Cancer Screening
Shared Decision-making and Colorectal Cancer Screening Behaviors Among Older Adults With Low Health Literacy
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Conduct a feasibility pilot RCT of a newly developed colorectal cancer screening (CRC) decision aid (DA) including 66 LHL adults 76-85 years recruited from community health centers. Hypotheses: Patients in the intervention group will be more likely to change their intentions to be screened with fewer patients with \<10 year LE and/or those with \>10 year LE and no risk factors intending to be screened and more with \>10 year LE and risk factors for CRC and/or those who have never been screened intending to be screened (primary outcome). The secondary outcomes are that the patients in the intervention group will have 1. increased knowledge of CRC screening options and the benefits and risks of these options; 2. increased SDM engagement; and 3. find the DA acceptable. Investigators also anticipate that at least 50% of eligible participants will choose to participate in the study.
