Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to begin to examine the efficacy of a motivational interviewing intervention to increase African Americans' screening colonoscopy rates. The results from this pilot study will allow us to estimate the magnitude of the intervention and mediation effect sizes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Motivational Interviewing for Colonoscopy: A Feasibility and Pilot Study

The purpose of this study is to begin to examine the efficacy of a motivational interviewing intervention to increase African Americans' screening colonoscopy rates. The results from this pilot study will allow us to estimate the magnitude of the intervention and mediation effect sizes.

Read the detailed description

Compared to other racial groups, African Americans have the highest colorectal cancer (CRC) morbidity and mortality rates. Screening colonoscopy can aid in the early detection and prevention of CRC. A motivational interviewing (MI) intervention holds strong promise to increase African Americans' screening colonoscopy adherence and, by doing so, decrease CRC disparities. There is a great need to conduct a randomized clinical trial (RCT) that tests the efficacy of an MI intervention to increase screening colonoscopy adherence in African Americans. The first critical and necessary step in this line of research is to pilot test such an RCT.

Objective/hypotheses: The primary objective of the proposed study is to conduct pilot testing for a future RCT which will formally test the effects of MI on screening colonoscopy adherence in African Americans. The results from this pilot study will directly inform the development of a future RCT.

Specific aims: 1) To estimate the magnitude of the MI intervention effect size; and 2) To estimate the magnitude of the mediation effect sizes (drawn from Self Determination Theory).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Motivational InterviewingBehavioural

    A brief motivational interviewing session

  • Attention ControlBehavioural

    Participants will be asked to discuss the sources (e.g., the Internet) in which they receive information about their health. This group is designed to control for potential beneficial effects of meeting with an interventionist.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Screening colonoscopy completion

    Medical chart review will be conducted 6 months after the primary care appointment in which the participants received a referral for a screening colonoscopy

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Psychological mediators

    Psychological mediators (drawn from Self Determination Theory) Participants will complete questionnaires immediately before and after the intervention/attention control session.

    Measured: 5 minutes before intervention

  2. Psychological mediators

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Motivational Interviewing in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Screening colonoscopy completion (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Nov 2015.
