Brief Summary:
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed and third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States for both men and women The American Cancer Society ACS estimates about 108070 new cases of colon cancer and 40740 new cases of rectal cancer will be diagnosed and about 49960 deaths will occur as a result of this devastating disease in 2008 Over the last 20 years the death rate for this cancer has been dropping as a result of screening and early detection of cancer In 2007 ACS reported that early-stage colorectal cancer had a survival rate close to 80 and up to 9632 deaths could be prevented each year if eligible patients received screening when necessary However despite the proven efficacy of colorectal cancer CRC screening only about 50 of eligible US patients are currently being screened
Specific Aims
The central hypothesis of this proposal is that patient-initiated prompting of primary care physicians of the patients interest in screening will increase referrals for CRC screening The following three areas will be investigated during this research
1 To determine whether a communication tool provided to patients will initiate a conversation with their primary care physicians about CRC screening especially via colonoscopy
2 To determine whether this tool will impact referral patterns for screening especially although not primarily among poor and underserved populations
3 To determine whether differences exist in regard to patient-physician communication patterns about screening among residents and faculties in the fields of internal medicine and family practice clinics
At the close of the investigators study the investigators wish to organize quantifiable data demonstrating how patient-initiated prompting of primary care physicians for CRC screening increases early detection and decreases potential mortality from colorectal cancer This data will inform a second larger study to pursue the questions surrounding patient-initiated prompting in
