Strategies for Optimizing a Mailed FIT Program in Appalachia

Summary

The proposed study is examining strategies for optimizing mailed fecal immunochemical test (FIT) programs. In doing so, it will assess the efficacy of two promising strategies, FIT kit materials and patient navigation delivery mode. These strategies may help to improve colorectal cancer screening rates.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Determine the efficacy of two strategies for increasing colorectal cancer screening. OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 4 groups. GROUP I: Participants receive a standard FIT kit plus telephone patient navigation. GROUP II: Participants receive a standard FIT kit plus text message patient navigation. GROUP III: Participants receive an enhanced FIT kit plus telephone patient navigation. GROUP IV: Participants receive an enhanced FIT kit plus text message patient navigation.
