Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening in First-Degree Relatives (FDRs) of Hispanic CRC Patients
CRC PATIENTS AND THEIR FDRS:
You will be asked to complete a questionnaire by telephone interview. The study researcher
who calls you will ask for your permission to audiotape the interview. The questionnaire
asks about your awareness of screening tests for colorectal cancer, your family's past use
of these screening tests, your attitudes toward colorectal cancer screening, and how you
discuss colorectal cancer risk and screening with your family and health care providers.
Some demographic information also will be collected (such as your age or marital status).
The questionnaire will take between 30 and 45 minutes to complete.
Your answers to the questions and your personal information will be kept strictly
confidential. Your questionnaire answers will be identified with a code number, rather than
a name, so that you cannot be identified. Audiotaped recordings will be destroyed after all
the data have been collected and studied (no longer than 5 years).
This is an investigational study. Up to 60 colorectal cancer patients and their close
relatives may be enrolled in the study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.
KEY INFORMANT:
You will be asked to complete a psychosocial interview either in person or by telephone.
The study staff member interviewing you will ask you for permission to audiotape the
interview. You will be asked to review the interview guides for colorectal cancer patients
and their first degree relatives (FDRs), and provide feedback about them. The interviewer
will ask for your opinions about Hispanics' awareness and understanding of colorectal cancer
screening. You will also be asked for your opinion about cultural beliefs and practices
that may influence participation in colorectal cancer screening. The interview will take
between 30 and 45 minutes to complete.
Your answers to the questions and your personal information will be kept strictly
confidential. Your questionnaire answers will be identified with a code number, rather than
a name, so that you cannot be identified. Audiotaped recordings will be destroyed after all
the data have been collected and studied (no longer than 5 years).
This is an investigational study. Up to 15 key informants may be enrolled in this study.
All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.
