RESUMO
PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: In this issue of Cancer, Clarke et al. measure defensive information processing (DIP) to avoid fecal immunochemical testing for colorectal cancer. DIP is a way of reducing the negative psychological effects of threats such as cancer and may influence health-protective behaviors such as the completion of recommended cancer screening. This editorial complements Clarke et al.'s study with a discussion of interventions for decreasing DIP around cancer screening and other health-protective recommendations.
