Animated Storytelling for Colorectal Cancer Screening

This study is testing if a short animated storytelling video helps encourage people to get screened for colorectal cancer. You could join if you live in the U.S., are 50 or older, can read English, and haven't had colorectal cancer screening before. You would not be eligible if you've already been diagnosed with colorectal cancer or have completed screening. The study will measure if the video, compared to informational text, makes people more likely to plan on getting screened. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This is an online randomized controlled trial with a planned enrollment of 3000 participants. You would be randomly assigned to view either an animated video or informational text.
What's involved
You would view either a brief animated storytelling video or a brief informational text. Outcomes will be assessed immediately after you see the content.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your behavioral expectation will be measured at the start of the study and immediately after you view the intervention (up to 24 hours later).
