A Video Intervention to Decrease Patient Fear of Colonoscopy After a Positive Fecal Immunochemical Test

ABSTRACT: This clinical trial compares an educational video intervention versus usual care of no video intervention in decreasing patient fear of a colonoscopy procedure after receiving a positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT). The lack of a follow-up colonoscopy after an abnormal FIT result is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer mortality, advanced-stage colorectal cancer, among other complications, compared to the completion of a follow-up colonoscopy. An educational video may reduce patient fear and increase knowledge, self-efficacy, and intent to complete a colonoscopy compared to the usual care of no video intervention.
