The study is exploring two ways to clean the bowel before a colonoscopy, a medical test to look inside your colon. The two methods are low-volume tablets (called Suflave/Sutab) and a standard liquid solution called Golytely (polyethylene glycol). Around 300 people will take part, chosen at random to use one of the two methods before their colonoscopy. The research will take place over a year. Participants will fill out surveys before and after their colonoscopy to share how they felt about the preparation method.
- Duration: The study lasts for 12 months.
- Participants: Must be 18+ years with a scheduled colonoscopy.
- Safety: Both methods are FDA-approved, with no health risks involved.
This study is for people who speak English or Spanish and are planning to have a colonoscopy. It's safe, as both methods are approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and commonly used. If you're pregnant, under 18, or unable to consent, you can't join the study.
