coloWeb (Katz)
This project focuses on development of a tailored web-based program that allows patients to receive individually tailored information about colorectal screening initiatives. The program will be evaluated in a randomized controlled trial at three primary care clinics. This project combines efforts with coloWeb (Ruffin) to complete both focus groups and a pilot test of the tailored program.
