Summary

This study explores whether a younger adult (ages 25-44) can encourage an older family member (ages 45-75) to get screened for colorectal cancer. Researchers will survey 300 people and test the idea with 15 parent-child pairs living in rural areas. The goal is to see if this family-based approach boosts cancer screening rates.
