Despite the acknowledged importance of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, and its proven prognostic benefit, African American men and women simultaneously possess the highest rates of CRC related incidence and mortality and lowest screening rates in the United States. Effective, targeted interventions that promote CRC screening for this community are therefore critical. The current study evaluated the impact of a print-based educational intervention on screening behavior and associated patient-based factors; including cancer-related knowledge, fatalism, worry and decisional balance (pros-cons). 118 individuals (Mean Age = 56.08 years, SD = 5.58) who had not undergone screening were recruited from two health clinics in New York City. Each participant received educational print materials regarding the need for screening, the process of undergoing screening, and the benefits of regular CRC screening. One in four individuals had undergone post-intervention screening at a three-month follow-up. Whereas all participants reported a decrease in cancer-related worry (p<.05), it was a decrease in fatalism (p<.05) and an increase in decisional balance (p<.05) that was associated with post-intervention screening behavior. These preliminary results suggest that fatalistic beliefs and an individual’s assessment of the benefits and barriers of screening may be critical in the decision to undergo CRC screening. Future interventions to increase CRC screening rates for this community may be improved by focusing on these patient-based factors.
