In brief

This study is being done to see if teaching physicians and people who are at least 50 years old and have not been screened within guidelines for colorectal cancer about the importance of colorectal cancer screening will increase screenings for colorectal cancer. The researchers want to understand what ways will work best to motivate and educate both patients and the doctors and nurses who care for them.
