The overall goal of this educational program was to increase colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) in men and women who attend Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) in Puerto Rico. FQHCs, referred to in Puerto Rico as "Clínicas 330", are ideal settings to implement innovative approaches to increase CRCS because they serve primarily low-income patients who typically have lower rates of screening. The goal of this study, is to develop and evaluate the impact of a clinic level intervention on increasing CRCS among low-income Puerto Rican men and women aged 50-75, who have either never been screened for colorectal cancer, or are under-screened according recommended guidelines. To evaluate the delivery of the CRCS education program we used a group randomized controlled trial that provided data to determine the effectiveness of the CRC intervention program compared with usual practice (no intervention).

| Intervention Arm | Experimental | Intervention Arm: ¡Salud! Por la vida Educational Intervention After completing eligibility and baseline surveys, trained lay health workers delivered an educational intervention for colorectal cancer screening with included a tailored interactive multimedia intervention (TIMI), newsletter, infographics, and a provider prompt for colorectal cancer screening. This educational session was delivered at intervention clinics and lasted about 1 hour. Follow-up data was collected starting at 6 months post educational session. |

| ¡Salud! Por la Vida | Behavioral | Lay health worker (LHW) delivered educational intervention for colorectal cancer screening (CRCS). The intervention consisted in having the participant complete a tailored interactive multimedia intervention (TIMI). TIMI consisted of a series of educational videos that addressed common barriers to colorectal cancer screening as well as provided information about colorectal cancer (CRC) and CRCS tests. Participants were able to tailor the TIMI for sex (male/female) and CRC family history. After TIMI completion, the LHW provided participant with a copy of the SPLV newsletter and printed infographics on CRC, CRCS, and an action plan tailored by type of CRCS (FOBT/FIT or colonoscopy). The Intervention Group subject participation took approx. up to 2 hours and Control Group up to 1 hour (half hour for each: baseline and follow-up interview). Follow-up data was collected 6 months post education session (intervention group) or post-baseline survey (control group). |
