Summary

This completed study interviewed 12 patients waiting for either a colonoscopy or a colon capsule endoscopy. The goal was to understand what factors are most important to them when deciding between these two colon tests. Researchers used telephone interviews and analyzed the conversations to identify key themes. The results may help improve how these tests are offered in the future.
