Overall study design for colorectal cancer screening research.
The central overlapping circles denote the primary qualitative and embedded quantitative data sources. Above this is a rectangle representing the fundamental literature review. The methodological flow of this study is delineated as (1) literature review, (2) quantitative analysis, and (3) qualitative analysis. A larger rectangular surrounding these methods represents the knowledge-to-action cycle. Each segment within this framework represents specific stages of the action process. Key findings from the methods that feed into each phase are highlighted under each phase. Although monitoring and refinement are not detailed in this protocol, they are presented to illustrate the entire cycle from knowledge to action.
