  4. Background: Colorectal Cancer (CRC) • CRC in the United States in 2012 is estimated as: • 3rd most commonly diagnosed cancer • 3rd leading cause of cancer deaths • African Americans have the highest CRC incidence and mortality rate of all racial groups.

  5. Background: CRC Screening • CRC is curable and preventable by screening. • Participation of CRC screening remains low, especially in African Americans. • Primary care practice is often the first place for delivery of CRC screening services. • Theory-based tailored messages to increase screening are more likely to be successful, especially those tailored to stage of adoption.

  6. Purpose • To examine predictors of stage of adoption for fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) and colonoscopy screening among non-adherent African American primary care patients.

Computer-delivered Tailored Intervention Improves Colon Cancer Screening Knowledge and Health Beliefs of African Americans. Health Education Research, In press.

  7. Demographics Age, Gender, Education, Employment, Income, Health insurance Clinical Site Conceptual Framework Clinical Variables Body Mass Index Family history of CRC Personal history of cancer Objective risk Stage of Adoption - FOBT - Colonoscopy CRC Health Beliefs/Knowledge Perceived Risk Perceived Benefits Perceived Barriers Self-Efficacy Cancer Fatalism CRC knowledge Social Support Marital status Family/friend encouragement Provider recommendation

  8. Non-Adherent African Americans

  9. Recruitment (N= 817) • 11 primary care clinics and community health centers affiliated with two urban academic medical centers, including a VA medical center.

  10. Eligibility Criteria • Self-identified as African American or Black • Not current with CRC screening • Ages 51-80 • No history of CRC • Able to read and speak English • No medical condition prohibiting screening • No cognitive, speech, and hearing impairment

  11. Data Collection/Instruments • Structured telephone interviews conducted prior to randomization in a RCT.

  12. Data Analyses • Predictor variables (p<.20) for hierarchical models were identified using univariate analysis. • Demographic variables were entered as predictors in Step 1, followed by clinical variables (Step 2), CRC health beliefs and knowledge (Step 3), and social support variables (Step 4). Final hierarchical models identified significant predictors of stages (p<.05).

  13. Sample Characteristics • Mean age was 57.4 years (±6.3) • Average education was 12.2 years (±1.9) • 47% were male. • The majority were not married or partnered (69%), not employed (79%), had insurance (89%), and reported incomes of <$15, 000 (59%). • The majority had no personal history of cancer (92%) or family history of cancer (74%) and were not VA patients (80%). • The mean BMI was 31.2 (±7.9).

  14. Stage of Adoption Distributions

  15. Discussion • Involving families and friends in addition to healthcare providers may be a very effective component of interventions to promote CRC screening.

  16. Discussion • VAMC patients were at more advanced stage of adoption for FOBT compared with the non-VAMC. • Participants with greater perceived benefits were more likely to be in more advanced stages of adoption for colonoscopy only. • Participants with greater perceived self-efficacy were more likely to be in more advanced stages of adoption for both FOBT and colonoscopy.

  17. Limitations • Selection bias. Baseline data from an intervention trial to promote CRC screening. • Limited generalizability: low income African Americans who have insurance and are able to access primary care services.
