a
All comparisons control for provider; comparisons for knowledge and intent also control for baseline. Boldface indicates statistical significance (*p<0.05; **p<0.001; ***p<0.001).
b
Mean number of correct responses out of six items.
c
Higher intent to be screened (strongly agree/agree) versus lower (strongly disagree/disagree/neutral).
FOBT, fecal occult blood testing.
