You may be eligible if
Eligible patients ages 25-49 must also have a family history of colorectal cancer or personal history of inflammatory bowel disease or adenomatous polyps.
Pregnant women will be included.
You may not be if
Adults younger than age 25 will be excluded because colorectal testing would be inappropriate for the vast majority of patients this young. The benefit of discerning patients in this age group for whom testing would be appropriate would be outweighed by the amount of labor and cost necessary to identify them.
Patients between ages of 25 and 75 will be excluded if they have had colorectal cancer, a colonoscopy in the last five years, do not give informed consent, do not have access to a telephone, or have severely impaired hearing or speech.
In addition, patients between ages 25 and 49 will be excluded unless they have a close relative diagnosed with Colon or Rectal Cancer before the age of \[pts age + 11\] or they've had a colon polyp or inflammatory bowel disease.
Patients who do not speak or read English will not be eligible for participation in the main study. In years 3 and 4, patients whose main language is Spanish will be included for participation in cognitive interviews and a pilot test to ensure the S-CRIS is culturally appropriate, conceptually equivalent, and usable for the diverse Spanish-speaking primary-care population.
Patients who are cognitively impaired will be excluded from all parts of the study.
