The Eat Right, Screen Right Extension program aims to help adult learners manage nutrition risks and screening options for colorectal cancer prevention. Participants navigate through 6 tailored lessons covering user-identified, evidence-based information relevant to reducing colorectal cancer risk. First, participants receive an overview of colorectal cancer screening guidelines (e.g., age, modalities), personalized nutrition risk factors (e.g., how their intake of red meat, processed meat, and alcohol aligns with nutrition guidelines for colorectal cancer prevention), and additional optional colorectal cancer prevention topics via a branched conversational pathway selected by the participant. Subsequently, participants also have the opportunity to access five additional modules, providing more in-depth information. Self-reported outcomes include changes in cancer information overload, dietary intentions, and cancer screening intentions. This is an extension of previously funded pilot study and aims to enhance reach by leveraging the UF/IFAS Extension infrastructure allowing participants to achieve the following goals: (1) demonstrate accurate understanding of the modifiable dietary behavior that decrease colorectal cancer risk, (2) demonstrate understanding of screening guidelines and several ways to screen for colorectal cancer (e.g., home stool tests, colonoscopy, others), (3) develop confidence to obtain colorectal cancer screening and stay up to date with screening based on guidelines, (4) apply behavior change strategies to support cancer prevention behaviors.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
