This study will garner preliminary data to develop a young adult-mediated intervention whereby a younger family member encourages their older family member to get colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. In Aim 1, survey data from n=150 younger (25-44 years old) and n=150 older (45-75 years old) adults living in rural communities will be collected. In Aim 2, intervention components will be evaluated using n=9 focus groups. The novel intervention will be assessed via a pilot trial (n=15 adult child/parent dyads) in Aim 3.
