Colorectal cancer, or CRC, affects African American men and women more than Caucasians, at a rate 20% higher. This is concerning in the face of mortality rates among African Americans, 28% higher for women and 14% higher for men than for whites. African Americans are also more likely to have advanced disease at diagnosis. It is necessary to study and evaluate why these factors exist, as appropriate screening and early diagnosis can have a significant impact on CRC survival rates. One study attempts to find the solution through testing, however, this study discredits itself slightly along the way. In the article “Culturally Targeted Educational Intervention to Increase Awareness of Colorectal Health Among African Americans,” authored by Phyllis Morgan, PhD, Joshua Fogel, PhD, Indira Tyler, MS, RN, and John Jones, MD, in 2009, CRC is evaluated in the African American community. The four, in collaboration with the Department of Nursing at Fayetteville State University in North Carolina, launched a research project titled "Fayetteville Area Interfaith Engagement in Colorectal Health Awareness and Reducing Cancer Among African-Americans,” abbreviated “The FAITH Project.” The goal of the project was to increase knowledge of CRC and increase CRC screening among African Americans. Participating physicians distributed educational programs to churches and community organizations. The study divided 539 African American men and women, all aged 50 or older, into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group received the 90-minute educational programs, while the control group did not. To evaluate the effectiveness of the materials, pre-test and post-test questionnaires were distributed to both groups. The study...... middle of article...... making the anonymous aspects of the test questionable. The project has good intentions, but lacks the proper structure to make it a credible test for CRC within the African American community. . If another test were to be carried out, the variables would have to be clearly defined, eliminating them and singling them out one by one. It would need to be made up of a larger proportion of the population, while limiting the size of the groups so that the data is easily collectable. The study should be anonymous, with no payment to participants and a more reliable data collection method than a simple questionnaire. The test should eliminate the sectarian aspects that have skewed this project so that it is credible within the medical community. The need for research on CRCs is still great, but researchers must be aware of the credibility of their conduct..
