Hypertension - Colon Cancer |
| Purpose: |
|
Black men constitute the demographic group with the greatest burden of premature death and
disability from hypertension (HTN) in the United States. But while the disproportionately
high rate of hypertension-related morbidity and mortality is well documented, the epidemic
of colorectal cancer (CRC) among black men is comparatively under-appreciated. For example,
CRC is a leading cause of cancer death in black men with a death rate 50% higher than in
white men. Low rates of screening for CRC in this population contribute significantly to
this problem. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the
effect of a lifestyle intervention delivered through telephone-based motivational
interviewing (MINT) versus a patient navigation intervention on blood pressure reduction and
CRC screening.
