Official title
Using Short Animated Storytelling to Increase Intent for Colorectal Cancer Screening: A U.S. Online Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
This online randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether a short animated storytelling video increases behavioral expectation to obtain colorectal cancer screening among screening-eligible U.S. adults who report not yet having completed screening. Participants will be recruited via Prolific and randomized in Stanford Qualtrics to view either a brief animated video or a time-neutral informational text. Outcomes will be assessed immediately after exposure.
Interventions
- Behavioral Short animated storytelling video
A brief animated storytelling video about colorectal cancer screening and colonoscopy.
Primary outcome measures
- Change from baseline in behavioral expectation (simple and next-step) to obtain colorectal cancer screening, as measured by a 7-item visual analogue scale. [Time frame: Baseline, immediately post-intervention exposure (up to 24 hours)]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Change from baseline in knowledge about colorectal cancer screening and colonoscopy, as measured by a 5-item knowledge questionnaire. [Time frame: Baseline, immediately post-intervention exposure (up to 24 hours)]
- Change from baseline in perceptions and beliefs about colonoscopy, as measured by a 13-item scale. [Time frame: Baseline, immediately post-intervention exposure (up to 24 hours)]
