First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This online study tests whether a short animated storytelling video can increase people's intention to get screened for colorectal cancer. Researchers will recruit 3,000 U.S. adults who have not yet been screened and randomly show them either the animated video or a plain text description. The goal is to see if the video makes people more likely to talk to their doctor and schedule a screening.
