Increasing colorectal cancer screening rates is a key recommendation of the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Blue Ribbon Panel for the Cancer Moonshot and endorsed by the National Cancer Advisory Board. Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia has been selected as a partner in the national Screen to Save (S2S): NCI Colorectal Cancer Outreach and Screening Initiative. This S2S initiative aims to increase colorectal cancer screening rates among adults aged 45 and older from racially and ethnically diverse communities and in rural areas. You have secured a community health internship with Fox Chase Cancer Center’s Office of Community Outreach and Engagement. As a community health educator and evaluator, you will work with a small team to provide culturally tailored, evidence-based colorectal cancer information, education, and screening resources to racially and ethnically diverse communities in Philadelphia. In Phase 1 of the program and evaluation, you will conduct multiple 45-minute colorectal cancer education sessions for adults aged 45 and older at senior centers, YMCAs, and recreation centers in diverse neighborhoods. At the end of each session, participants will complete a 10-minute survey to assess their colorectal cancer-related knowledge, attitudes towards screening, likelihood of adopting healthful colorectal cancer-related behaviors, and demographic information. a. What are the main outcomes assessed in Phase 1 of the evaluation? b. What is a long-term outcome that should be assessed in future evaluation phases? c. Identify and describe or visualize the design you used in this scenario to assess colorectal cancer education session success. To visualize the design, you can use traditional research design notation such as, R=randomization, X=Intervention, and O=Observation of Outcome. d. Describe one possible threat to internal validity in relation to the scenario.
