About this study

In plain language

This online study tests whether a short animated story makes people more likely to expect to get screened for colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon or rectum). It is for U.S. adults who are eligible for screening but say they have not had it. Participants are assigned by chance to watch the video or read information, then answer questions right away.

This online randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether a short animated storytelling video increases behavioral expectation to obtain colorectal cancer screening among screening-eligible U.S. adults who report not yet having completed screening. Participants will be recruited via Prolific and randomized in Stanford Qualtrics to view either a brief animated video or a time-neutral informational text. Outcomes will be assessed immediately after exposure.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
