Evaluating a Health Literacy Intervention to Improve Colorectal Cancer Screening in Underserved Areas
Sponsor: University Paul Sabatier of Toulouse
Summary
The aim of this project is to assess the impact of a health literacy (HL) intervention combining HL and CRC screening training for general practitioners with a short brochure and video targeting eligible patients to increase CRC screening and other secondary outcomes in four underserved geographic areas in France. The investigators will use a two-arm randomized controlled cluster trial at 8 clusters (2 per area) primarily serving underserved populations across 4 geographic areas in France with 32 primary care physicians and 1024 patients recruited.

Health literacy intervention
We will translate and adapt an intervention developed by Ferreira et al. to address health literacy and improve CRC screening. This intervention combined a 2-hour health literacy training targeting primary care physicians (which also included information about CRC screening) and a patient level intervention that consisted of a brochure and video. In order to promote generalizability, large-scale diffusion, dissemination and sustained use beyond the funded-research period, we will use blended learning to develop a 2-hour e-learning health literacy training in French and a one-hour booster session. The patient-facing intervention (video + brochure) will follow key plain language and health literacy principles to translate evidence-based information in content that all patients can understand. Existing materials developed in France will be used and adapted as relevant.
