Message Framing and Colorectal Cancer Screening

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Colorectal Neoplasms

In brief

The main purpose of this study is to promote colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among individuals who have never been screened, with these individuals being members of a panel who participant in online studies. The primary study goals are to test effects of the matching between level of comparative risk feedback for colorectal cancer (CDC), that is, how one's risk compares to others, and message framing (Gain vs. loss frame) on CRC screening intentions and screening as well as mediators of effects in the context of people who obtain CRC risk feedback and framing messages online (i.e., Internet).
