Virtual Human Delivered Nutrition Module for Colorectal Cancer Prevention

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study uses the opinions of adults between the ages of 45 and 73 years old to develop and test an interactive nutrition module for use in an existing colorectal cancer screening intervention using virtual human technology. This study will contribute to knowledge of what messages and graphics promote understanding of cancer risk and promote screening.

Design Details

Primary Purpose: Screening
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single


Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Active Comparator: high interactive virtual human administered nutrition module<br>The virtual health assistant will interactively collect nutrition information (alcohol, red meat, and processed meat intake) and report risk information back to users in visual and audio format | Other: virtual technology - high interactive<br>* Participants engage with web-based cancer prevention content and answer a short series of questions designed to assess their baseline risk for colon cancer and dietary intake. Interactive nutrition risk feedback will be customized based on user input.<br>* Other names: Virtual human nutrition module;|
| Active Comparator: low interactive virtual human module<br>Complete the current intervention module that includes items assessing alcohol and meat intake. | Other: virtual technology - low interactive<br>* Participants engage with web-based cancer prevention content and answer a short series of questions designed to assess their baseline risk for colon cancer. Minimally interactive risk feedback will be delivered.<br>* Other names: virtual human standard;|
| Sham Comparator: attention control module<br>The attention control group, will complete a related module not related to colorectal cancer or nutrition | Other: non-colorectal cancer related module<br>* Participants engage with web-based content not related to colorectal cancer or nutrition.<br>* Other names: attention control;|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Risk perceptions for colorectal cancer | Items measured on a 10-point Likert scale, (e.g. My chances of getting colorectal cancer are high) | up to 2 hours | 
| Intentions to screen for colorectal cancer | Items measured on a 10-point Likert scale, (e.g. I want to get screened for colorectal cancer) | up to 2 hours | 
| Information seeking behavior | Does participant click on link to more information. The survey platforms event tracking feature will be used to track clicks (yes/no) for more information. | up to 2 hours |
