Study Description
This research study will be looking at how patients and their doctors discuss
the topic of colorectal cancer screening. The purpose of the study is to improve
how patients and their primary care doctors discuss colon cancer screening. You
may be invited to participate in this study if you are at an age when colon
cancer screening is recommended and if your records suggest that you are due to
be screened. The VA Pittsburgh is the coordinating center and one of three
clinic sites that this study is taking place at. We plan to have 150 patients
from each
site: the VA Pittsburgh, the Jesse Brown VA in Chicago, and
the
Houston VA and 450 patients total to take
part in this study.
