Book Description
Colorectal cancer is cancer that starts in the large intestine (colon) or the rectum (end of the colon). CRC in African Americans has increased incidence and mortality to whites; the site of CRC in African Americans is a more proximal site. In almost all cases, however, this disease is entirely treatable if caught early by colonoscopy (MedlinePlus, 2004). The study will investigate the effects of colonoscopy screening and patient education concerning colorectal cancer on the occurrence and mortality of colorectal cancer in African Americans. The study will be a survey design; it will determine if the attitudes of African American patients who receive education about colorectal cancer (CRC) with an additional question and answer session and recommended colonoscopy screening have a change in beliefs and knowledge of CRC. The patients will complete a questionnaire in the beginning of the study and at the end of the study; the results of both questionnaires will be compared and the reviewer will look for specific changes in attitude toward CRC.
