Official title
A Randomized, Multi-site Trial to Boost Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates Through Proactive Outreach and Navigation in Federally Qualified Health Centers in Brooklyn
Overview
The purpose of the study is to boost colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates in an underserved population in Brooklyn through organized, proactive outreach of mailed Fecal Immunochemical Tests (FIT), utilizing evidence-based interventions tailored to the needs of the population.
Interventions
- Behavioral Proactive Screening Outreach
Individuals in the interventional arm will receive an information letter, followed by mailed FIT kit. Individuals that do not respond will receive reminder phone calls. Individuals that do respond will receive navigation to assist with completion of FIT and the colonoscopy if FIT is abnormal. Clinic processes will be closely followed and the primary care provider will be informed of the program.
Primary outcome measures
- Proportion of Participants who Complete FIT Test by Month 6 [Time frame: Up to Month 6]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Proportion of Participants with Positive FIT who Complete Colonoscopy by Month 6 [Time frame: Up to Month 6]
