Young Adult-Mediated Intervention to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening

This study is testing a new approach to encourage colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. It involves younger family members (ages 25-44) talking to their older relatives (ages 45-75) about getting screened. The goal is to see if this "young adult-mediated intervention" can increase awareness and intentions to get screened for CRC. You might be able to join if you live in certain counties in Virginia or North Carolina, are between 25 and 75 years old, and can speak English. If you are a younger adult, you'll need an older relative you speak with regularly. The study will measure if participants' knowledge and awareness of CRC screening, as well as their plans to get screened, improve after the intervention. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and plans to enroll 30 participants.

Study design
This study uses a single group (single-arm), open-label design with 15 adult child/parent pairs. It will assess changes before and after the intervention.
