The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the impact of shared decision making on colorectal cancer screening in Maine. This project seeks to: systematically identify unscreened patients at three primary care practices, provide patients a high-quality decision aid along with primary care physician recommendation to be screened by either colonoscopy or FIT (stool testing), and a follow up with a personal phone call from the primary care team to provide decision support and schedule desired screening. As a result of this intervention we anticipate improved colorectal cancer screening rates among a large group of patients in Maine. This process can then be spread throughout Maine after documenting the relative benefit of the intervention.
