Intervention to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening-Post Intervention

Patient Post-Intervention Survey

Clinical Care and Health Survey:

Patient Opinions

We are interested in your opinions and experiences you’ve had with your doctor or health care provider talking about colon cancer. This may have included a talk about colon cancer screening tests. We would like to know how you feel about talking with your clinician about these issues. Your opinions are important to us!

Filling in this survey will help us design programs to help your clinician and others give better patient care. You may be contacted one more time in the future so that we can learn more about the opinions and experiences you’ve have talking to your doctor about colon cancer.

Part IV: Colon Cancer Screening Experience

Now we are interested in your experience with either FOBT, Flexible Sigmoidoscopy or Colonoscopy.

FOBT stands for a Fecal Occult Blood Test which is a set of cards to take home to collect a stool sample. Then you mail in or return the cards to be tested for hidden blood in the stool. (Sometimes called Hemoccult test or stool card test)

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy is also called a ‘Flex Sig’. It is when a doctor or nurse practitioner inserts a flexible tube into your rectum (or bottom) to check for bowel problems and colon cancer.

A Colonoscopy is a medical procedure which you will have in a clinic or hospital setting. It allows a full viewing of the colon. You will have preparation that you will do, and during the procedure you will be given a sedative. A doctor inserts a flexible tube into your rectum (or bottom) to check for bowel problems and colon cancer.
