Conditions

Summary

The Accelerating Colorectal Cancer Screening and follow-up through Implementation Science (ACCSIS) Program addresses major regional CRC screening disparities among AI in Oklahoma. The investigators are engaged in a participatory and collaborative effort with Tribal Nations, Area Indian Health Boards, and Indian Health Service (IHS) healthcare facilities. The overall objective of this proposal is to leverage these relationships and examine the feasibility of co-developing and disseminating a v-TCHE as part of a multi-channel communication intervention. To achieve this objective, the investigators have partnered with IHS Clinton Service Unit, which serves members of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes. The intervention will be disseminated across two channels: (1) Social Media (i.e., accessed via online study adverts) and (2) Clinic (i.e., direct messaging to patients via a study link in a SMS text). Across both channels, the investigators will examine reach of the intervention and its potential efficacy via a randomized controlled trial. Once participants click on the study link they will be randomized 1:1 to one of two intervention conditions: (1) watch a Narrative Testimonial Video of a real-life Tribal community health educator (control) or (2) an interaction with a v-TCHE. Participants will then complete a post-intervention survey, in which they can click to order a FIT kit afterwards.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests different communication methods — like text messages, phone calls, and educational materials — to encourage American Indian adults in Oklahoma to get screened for colorectal cancer (colon cancer). Early detection of colorectal cancer greatly improves outcomes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 45 and 75 years old - You live within the IHS Clinton Service Unit area in Oklahoma - You are fluent in English and can read at a 6th grade level or above - You identify as American Indian **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are already up to date with colorectal cancer screening (e.g., a stool test within the last year) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALNarrative Testimonial Video

The narrative testimonial will provide a first-person recording of a real Tribal community health educator. In addition to the kernel information, the narrative video will employ culturally concordant storytelling about their personal experiences helping AI patients get screened and positive outcomes associated with early detection.

BEHAVIORALv-TCHE Interaction

Participants can interact via a set of authored responses or speak freely to the vTCHE. The v-TCHE uses Google Speech-to-Text to convert participant speech into text and Google's DialogFlow logs participants' selections, utterances, and interactions with the vTCHE. The interaction will elicit individual preferences, address concerns about CRC, and empower decision-making while still promoting CRC screening.
