Individualized, non-drug prep to improve bowel cleaning for colonoscopy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults scheduled for colonoscopy are randomized to three groups to see if an information-framing and tailored non-pharmacological regimen improves bowel cleanliness compared with standard prep. The study uses a risk score to tailor bowel prep intensity and adds illustrated education; the information framing varies by risk to emphasize harms or benefits of adherence. Endoscopists rate bowel cleanliness with the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale, while participants report adherence and motivation. Outcomes include prep quality, willingness for repeat procedures, and adverse events, with blinded assessment of results.
