  1. Development of a Tailored Interactive Multimedia Intervention to increase Colorectal Cancer Screening among Hispanics along Texas-Mexico BorderMaría E. Fernández, Ph.D.The University of Texas, School of Public Health

  3. OVERVIEW • Formative Research • Intervention Planning using • Intervention Mapping • Brief Description of Program • Evaluation

  4. STUDY SETTING The study sites are colonias along the Texas-Mexico border: the formative work was conducted in El Paso County, (El Paso), Cameron County (Brownsville), and Webb County (Laredo); the intervention trial will be carried out in the LRGV. Colonias are unincorporated, un-zoned, semi-rural communities often without access to public drinking water or wastewater systems. Individuals living in colonias have high rates of poverty, unemployment, and low education levels.

  5. FORMATIVE RESEARCH • Qualitative Study • 12 Focus Groups: 5 with men, 6 with women, 1 with promotoras • Colonias of the El Paso, Laredo, & Brownsville regions • Interview guide question categories- Knowledge, Experience, CRCS behavior • Eligibility: Hispanic/Latino, 50+, No prior/current cancer diagnosis • Recruitment: Flyers, Word of mouth, Local colonia churches, Promotoras • Audio-taped sessions were transcribed, translated, and back-translated • Qualitative analysis using Atlas.ti

  6. FORMATIVE RESEARCH • Survey • Face to face interviews with 544 men and women • Colonias of the El Paso, Laredo, & Brownsville • Eligibility: Hispanic/Latino, 50+, no prior/current cancer diagnosis • Recruitment: Flyers, Word of mouth, Local colonia churches, Promotoras • The survey was conducted in Spanishincluded items assessing: demographics, colorectal cancer screening behaviors, Knowledge, Perceived Susceptibility/Risk, Intentions, Self Efficacy, Decisional Balance, Subject Norms, Social Norms, Fatalism, Acculturation

  7. FORMATIVE RESEARCH “If the doctor would tell me to do it, the yes… (I would get tested)” “ “It is because of ignorance….one does not ask to be screened because she does not know that she should do it, because one does not know the importance of being screened.”

  8. FORMATIVE RESEARCH “If it is outside the skin, I think it can be cured.” “..there are two types of cancer, but the one that you cannot feel or detect, “the silent one,” is the one that kills you quickly “ “No, what I tell you is that cancer is a bad disease, very ugly for the people who have it, almost always there is no cure. It is very rare to hear that one has been saved from cancer… it is a terrible disease.”
