Usual Care (UC)
TIWeb
Cancer Screening Call (CSC)
TIWeb+CSC
The usual care group received usual care that varies dependent upon the practice setting.
TIWeb (Tailored Web Intervention) program is interactive and tailored to the participant's individual beliefs and demographics. Individuals receiving the TIWeb will be given information that allows them to call and receive an FOBT kit in the mail or schedule an appropriate CRC test and/or mammogram.
CSC - a telephone counseling call during which the participant is given the opportunity to complete CRC screening (FOBT or a colonoscopy) and/or mammography screening.The CSC included tailored counseling as well as the ability to schedule BC and CRC screening tests.
TIWeb + CSC ((Tailored web intervetion+Cancer screening) group receive a mailed TIWeb, which is followed in four weeks by a CSC with the same opportunity to receive FOBT kits or schedule a colonoscopy and/or mammogram. The nurse counselor, knowing the participant is a good candidate for screening tests, will be trained to schedule CRC or BC screening appointments or to mail FOBT kits to individuals in the intervention groups even if they have not had a recent clinic visit.
