Child-Physician Recommendation on Parental Adherence to Colorectal Cancer Screening

Physician recommendation has been shown to be one of the most significant predictors for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. This study aims to identify the amount of parents of internal medicine residents at NYU who are eligible for CRC screening but have not received it. Investigators will perform an intervention and quantify the amount of parents eligible for CRC screening after the intervention. This study will entail sending 2 brief surveys (one before the intervention and one after) which determine if the parents of the residents are eligible for CRC screening. The intervention will be asking the residents with eligible parents to have a discussion with their parents about CRC screening options and to address their concerns. Investigators will provide a one page document the residents can give their parents as a reference as part of the intervention.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: CRC screening Survey; Residents with parents eligible for CRC screening will be asked to provide their e-mail address, solely for the use of distributing the follow up survey so it can be linked to 2 brief (3-5 min) surveys	Other: Survey; Survey with 4-7 questions about each parents' demographics and CRC screening history. Depending on answers, provided a CRC screening document and asked to discuss screening with parents, followed by a brief survey in 4 months
