Screening and Risk Communication for First Degree Relatives of Colorectal Cancer Patients
You will be interviewed by a member of the study staff over the telephone. You will be
asked about your awareness of screening tests for colorectal cancer, and your attitudes
toward colorectal cancer screening. You also will also be asked about your family's past
use of these screening tests, and how you discuss colorectal cancer risk and screening with
your family and health care providers. Some demographic information also will be collected
(such as your age or marital status). The questionnaire will take between 30 and 45 minutes
to complete.
Your answers to the questions and your personal information will be kept strictly
confidential. Your questionnaire answers will be identified with a code number, rather than
a name, so that you cannot be identified.
This is an investigational study. Up to 325 colorectal cancer patients and their close
relatives may take part in the study. All will be enrolled MD Anderson.
