A Web-Based Intervention (Eat Right, Screen Right) for the Promotion of Colorectal Cancer Screening

Trial Status: active

This clinical trial studies how well a web-based intervention called Eat Right, Screen Right works in promoting colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. CRC accounts for about 8% of new cancer cases in the United States. Among several lifestyle behaviors related to CRC risk are alcohol, red meat, and processed meat consumption. Evaluating nutritional status is considered a key component of the patient care process, and when done effectively, can help patients understand which foods increase CRC risk. The Eat Right, Screen Right intervention involves an interactive web-based conversation with a virtual health assistant that talks to participants about nutrition and CRC screening, as well as a self-paced course that contains five additional brief lessons. The Eat Right, Screen Right intervention may be able to help adult learners manage nutrition risks and screening options for CRC prevention.
