ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how people feel about different ways to screen for colorectal cancer, which is cancer of the colon or rectum. The study aims to understand what screening methods people prefer and how they feel about their experiences with these tests, specifically after taking a stool test called FOBT (Fecal Occult Blood Test). The trial will involve participants aged 50 to 69 years who are healthy and eligible for screening. They will complete two questionnaires to share their thoughts and experiences, and their responses will help improve future screening programs.

To participate, individuals need to be between 50 and 69 years old and be invited to join a screening program at a health center. They must also be willing to sign a consent form, confirming they understand what the study involves. However, individuals who have already had a colonoscopy because of a previous positive stool test, or who haven’t submitted a stool sample yet, won’t be eligible. This study is important because it aims to make colorectal cancer screening more patient-friendly by taking into account what people prefer and how they feel about the process.
