African Americans are diagnosed at late stages and suffer disproportionately higher mortality rates from colorectal cancer (CRC). Increasing their participation in CRC screening can help reduce these disparities. In-depth personal interviews were conducted with 60 African Americans to understand if CRC test preferences exist and to identify what attributes of screening tests influence test preferences. Most individuals interviewed preferred colonoscopy as compared to FOBT. Previous participation in CRC screening influenced how individuals made decisions about CRC screening. Enabling individuals without CRC screening experience to first complete FOBT might prepare them to later participate in colonoscopy screening.
非裔美国人被诊断出患有结直肠癌（CRC）时往往处于晚期，且死亡率高得不成比例。增加他们参与CRC筛查的比例有助于减少这些差异。对60名非裔美国人进行了深入的个人访谈，以了解他们是否存在CRC检测偏好，并确定筛查检测的哪些属性会影响检测偏好。与粪便潜血试验（FOBT）相比，大多数接受访谈的人更喜欢结肠镜检查。以前参与CRC筛查影响了个人对CRC筛查的决策方式。让没有CRC筛查经验的人先完成FOBT，可能会使他们为以后参与结肠镜检查筛查做好准备。
