Protect Your Colon™ Decision Aid
for Colorectal Cancer Screening
The purpose of the research is to assess the impact of Protect Your Colon™, a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening decision aid, on patients' CRC screening behaviors. The Investigators hypothesize that Protect Your Colon™, through optimizing shared decision making, will lead to selection of a test that accurately matches patients' values and increase CRC screening uptake. To test this hypothesis, the investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess if provision of Protect Your Colon™ improves communication on CRC screening, intent to complete screening, and ultimately uptake of screening vs. usual care.

VR Therapy
for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Through a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), the aim is to test the clinical impact and feasibility of a virtual reality (VR) cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program versus sham VR among patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is hypothesized that using VR-administered CBT may reduce abdominal pain, leading to improved overall physical, psychological, and social functioning when compared to sham VR.
