ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the impact of a tool called Protect Your Colon™, which helps people make informed decisions about colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. The goal is to see if this decision aid can encourage more individuals to get screened for CRC by improving communication about screening options and aligning the tests with what patients value. Researchers believe that by using Protect Your Colon™, people will be more likely to understand their screening choices and ultimately decide to get screened.

To participate, individuals should be between 45 and 75 years old and either have never been screened for CRC or are not up-to-date with their screenings. It's important that they are not at high risk for CRC due to factors such as family history or certain medical conditions. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the Protect Your Colon™ tool or usual care, allowing researchers to compare the effectiveness of this new approach. Those who join the study can expect to engage in discussions about their screening options and make choices that suit their personal preferences.
