Screen to Save Initiative

This clinical trial studies how well educational intervention works in improving knowledge
and screening rates of colorectal cancer. An educational intervention, such as viewing an
inflatable colon, PowerPoint presentation, or flip books/flipcharts, may help improve
knowledge about colorectal cancer and how often people get checked for colorectal cancers.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To increase colorectal cancer (CRC) knowledge, attitudes, positive behavior change, intent
for screening, and screening among at-risk groups.

OUTLINE:

Participants attend educational sessions comprising of an inflatable colon interactive
exhibit that allows visitors to walk through a colon while seeing images, or a PowerPoint
presentation that contains messages that are tailored to meet the cultural and linguistic
needs of Black/African Americans, Appalachians, and Hispanics/Latinos, and flip books/flip
charts. Participants also receive a copy of the study information sheet which contains the
basic elements of informed consent and a pre-education session knowledge survey.
