Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Context : Colorectal cancer (CRC) mass screening has been implemented in France since 2008. Participation rates remain too low. The objective of this study is to test if the implementation of a training course focused on communication skills (whether in-person or e-learning) among general practitioners (GP) would increase the delivery of gFOBT and CRC screening participation among the target population of each participating GP. Method : Pragmatic controlled cluster randomized trial with 2 parallel groups: Control versus Educational Intervention Intervention ; six hour educational training either in person or through e-learning The Main objective: is to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention teaching physicians the patient-centered approach, either in-person or through e-learning, by evaluating their patients' participation in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening for all risk categories.
