Summary

The purpose of this research is to try to better understand how much information relating to cancer screening and diagnoses that people can recall on their own and to better understand how to help people get better information. In this study, investigators will see if giving time or other resources help individuals remember more and more accurate details about their cancer screening and care.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized controlled trial of an intervention to encourage use of online medical records for filling out a cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment questionnaire. Participants will be asked to self-report on cancer screening and treatment. They will then be asked the same questions again a week later.

The control group will have had one week to reflect on the questions, and investigators anticipate some influence of this on responses. The intervention group will be prompted about accessing their medical records from the major local health systems online, with links to directions provided by each hospital system. They will then be asked to fill out the same questionnaire.
