Study Details

Brief summary:

  • Hypothesis 1. When compared to passive dissemination, active dissemination will result in greater participant enrollment.
  • Hypothesis 2. The intervention will be offered with equal fidelity in churches, clinics and community sites.
  • Hypothesis 3. Knowledge of CRC screening and perceived risk of CRC will be positively correlated.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Passive Arm #1

Active Arm #1, 2; Passive Arm #1, 2 Community coalitions randomized to the Passive Arm #1-Web Access Without Technical Assistance will receive access to EPICS facilitator training materials and toolkits via the Research-Tested Intervention Programs (RTIPs) website and will not participate in monthly technical assistance teleconferences.

experimental: Passive Arm #2

Active Arm #1, #2; Passive Arm #1, #2 Community coalitions randomized to the Passive Arm #2-Web Access With Technical Assistance will receive access to EPICS facilitator training materials and toolkits via the Research-Tested Intervention Programs (RTIPs) website and will participate in monthly technical assistance teleconferences.

active comparator: Active Arm #1

Active Arm #1, #2; Passive Arm #1, #2 Community coalitions randomized to Active Arm #1-In-Person Access Without Technical Assistance will receive training from intervention developers with access to facilitator training materials but will not participate in monthly technical assistance teleconferences.

active comparator: Active Arm #2

Active Arm #1, #2; Passive Arm #1, #2 Community coalitions randomized to Active Arm #2-In-Person Access with Technical Assistance will receive training from intervention developers with access to facilitator training materials and will participate in monthly technical assistance teleconferences.

Interventions

Active Arm #1, #2, Passive Arm #1, #2

This four-arm cluster randomized trial (five community coalitions plus 1,800 African Americans, 50-74 years of age, who are not current on CRC screening per arm) compares the following implementation strategies: (1) web access to facilitator training materials and toolkits without technical assistance (TA); (2) web access, but with technical assistance (TA); (3) in-person access to facilitator training materials and toolkits without TA and (4) in-person access with TA.

Primary outcome measure

  • Reach (RE-AIM Framework) [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ]
  • Effectiveness (RE-AIM Framework) [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]
