Improving Colorectal Cancer Screening in a Rural Setting: A Randomized Study.
Colorectal cancer screening has been shown to prevent or detect early colorectal cancer and reduce mortality; yet, adherence to screening recommendations remains low, particularly in rural settings. ⋯ A mailed motivational messaging letter with a low-cost screening alternative increased colorectal cancer screening in this largely rural community with generally poor adherence to screening recommendations. Mailed colorectal cancer screening reminders using motivational messaging may be an effective method for increasing screening and reducing rural colorectal cancer disparities.

Assessing an App-Based Child Restraint System Use Intervention in China: An RCT.
While child restraint systems are effective in protecting children from crash-related injuries and deaths, their use in China is extremely low. This study assessed the effectiveness of child restraint system education with and without behavioral skills training on improved use and explored participants' views regarding content and delivery of an onsite intervention and online (WeChat) boosters. ⋯ An education intervention was effective in improving parents' knowledge, attitude, and practice of child restraint system use. A social media intervention booster (WeChat) may provide a new channel to help promote child passenger safety in China.
