Study Summary
Systematic efforts to improve colorectal cancer screening use in the VA Healthcare System have resulted in an increase in not only appropriate, but also inappropriate use of screening. The purpose of this study is to test a new, more patient-centered approach to colon cancer screening. In older individuals (ages 70 to 75) who are "due" for screening, the investigators will provide education on the benefits and harms of colon cancer screening. But instead of simply providing these patients with "average" information about these benefits, the investigators will give them information that takes into account their personal characteristics (e.g., age, gender), overall health, and screening history and therefore applies to them more personally. The investigators will also work with the health system to create time and space for patient and doctor to discuss whether screening is the right choice for each individual. This way, patients can make an informed choice about what is right for them, with the help of their doctor. In the future, the results of this study will help patients make more informed screening decisions, especially when the benefits of screening may be uncertain for them personally.
