Cross-cultural survey development: the colon cancer screening behaviors survey for South Asian populations.
The objective of this work was to develop a survey that considered cultural relevance and diversity of South Asian populations, with the aim of describing or predicting factors that influence colorectal cancer screening intention and adherence. The initial development of the Colon Cancer Screening Behaviours Survey for South Asian populations was completed using a number of steps. This initial survey was later cross-culturally translated and adapted into the Urdu language.

Design of a randomized clinical trial of a colorectal cancer screening decision aid to promote appropriate screening in community-dwelling older adults.
This paper reports on the design of a randomized clinical trial to understand the effects of a patient decision aid on appropriate colorectal cancer screening. The study aims to determine the ability of a patient decision aid to increase individualized and appropriate colorectal cancer screening.

Medical mistrust and colorectal cancer screening among African Americans.
The goal of this systematic review was to summarize evidence investigating associations between medical mistrust and CRC screening among African Americans, and variations in these associations by gender, CRC screening type, and level of mistrust. The study found that quantitative differences in mistrust and CRC screening by gender were mixed, but qualitative studies highlighted fear of experimentation and intrusiveness of screening methods as unique themes among African American men.

"Finding the right FIT": rural patient preferences for fecal immunochemical test (FIT) characteristics.
This community-led study was conducted to assess patient preferences for fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) characteristics and to use study findings in concert with clinical effectiveness data to inform regional FIT selection. The authors concluded that FIT characteristics influenced patient's perceptions of test acceptability and feasibility and indicated that health system leaders, payers, and clinicians should select FITs that are both clinically effective and incorporate patient preferred test characteristics.

Screening for colorectal cancer.
This case study involves a 50-year-old woman who presents for a routine visit. She is healthy with no significant medical history, takes no medications, and has no personal or family history of cancer. She asks about colorectal cancer screening. There are three multiple choice questions together with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force answers, recommendations and related background information.

An entertainment-education colorectal cancer screening decision aid for African American patients: a randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study was to assess whether an entertainment-education decision aid tailored for African American patients improved patients' decision making, attitudes, intentions, or colorectal cancer screening behavior. It found that viewing the culturally tailored decision aid significantly increased African American patients' knowledge of colorectal cancer screening recommendations and options. It also significantly reduced their decisional conflict and improved their self-advocacy.

Effectiveness of screening colonoscopy to prevent colorectal cancer among Medicare beneficiaries aged 70 to 79 years: a prospective observational study.
The researchers evaluated the effectiveness and safety of screening colonoscopy to prevent colorectal cancer (CRC) in persons aged 70 to 74 and those aged 75 to 79 years. They concluded that screening colonoscopy may have had a modest benefit in preventing CRC in beneficiaries aged 70 to 74 years and a smaller benefit in older beneficiaries.
