| Inflatable Colon Educational Module Participants attend a brief educational presentation in an inflatable colon, focused on colorectal cancer prevention and screening. Participants also receive a copy of the study information sheet and may receive written educational materials to take home. Participants complete a pre-test and a post-test to assess changes in knowledge and intention to get screened for colorectal cancer.
