ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how training general practitioners (doctors) to use a patient-centered approach affects shared decision-making during colorectal cancer screening. The goal is to see if this training helps doctors better involve patients in decisions about their screening options, compared to doctors who haven't received this training.

To participate in the study, you need to be between the ages of 50 and 74 and eligible for organized colorectal cancer screening. This means you should have a regular doctor involved in your care and be willing to follow the study's requirements. However, you cannot join if you have had a screening in the last two years, have certain medical conditions like a personal history of colorectal cancer, or if you have difficulty understanding the study materials. If you join, you can expect to work closely with your doctor and potentially help improve the way doctors and patients communicate about important health decisions.
