NCT ID NCT07503847

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether helping people aged 40-49 with a family history of colon cancer make informed choices about screening leads to more colonoscopies. Participants either get standard care (direct referral for colonoscopy) or a shared decision-making session where they can choose between colonoscopy and a stool test. The goal is to see if this approach increases screening rates and patient satisfaction.
