NCT ID NCT06074536
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving general practitioners face-to-face training in patient-centered care helps them make better shared decisions with patients about colorectal cancer screening. About 400 patients aged 50 to 74 who are eligible for screening will take part. The main goal is to see if the training improves how much patients feel involved in the decision, measured by a questionnaire.
