Online Study of Colorectal Cancer and Prostate Cancer Screening Decision Making
NCT01558583 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Participants will be recruited from the United States and Australia to take an online survey about colon cancer screening or prostate cancer screening. Individuals selected for both the prostate cancer survey and the colon cancer study will be randomized to take one of three survey types - balance sheet, rating and ranking or conjoint analysis. These surveys will help participants clarify their values and opinions about screening options for colon cancer or prostate cancer. Participants' responses to the online survey are measured at one point in time - the time at which the participant takes the survey.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01558583
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01558583 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 1,831 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, which has 725 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Prostate Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Rating and Ranking Task is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01558583 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include North Carolina. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
