to 1 of 3 study groups. Neither you nor the study staff will be able to choose which group
you will be in:
- If you are in Group 1, you will read a booklet about colorectal cancer screening tests.
While reading the booklet, you will also listen to an audio CD that will narrate the
booklet.
- If you are in Group 2, you will watch a video with non-moving images about colorectal
cancer screening tests on an iPad.
- If you are in Group 3, you will watch a video with animated images about colorectal
cancer screening tests on an iPad.
You will complete questionnaires before and after viewing the program that will contain
questions about:
- Your age and what language you speak
- Your math and reading comprehension
- Your knowledge of colorectal cancer and colorectal cancer screening
- Your thoughts about colorectal cancer screening
- Your opinions about this study, and
- How well you understand the booklet/video you view as part of this study
It will take about 1 hour to complete all the questionnaires. In total, the study will take
about 1 ½ to 2 hours to complete. After you have completed the questionnaires, your
participation in the study will be over.
This is an investigational study.
