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.
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.
Inclusion Criteria: * Resident of an Appalachian county * Medical visit at a participating health system in the past two years * Average-risk for colorectal cancer * Not currently within colorectal cancer screening guidelines Exclusion Criteria: \-
Receive a standard FIT kit
Receive a enhanced FIT kit that includes a video brochure, disposable gloves, and a disposable stool collection device
Receive telephone-based patient navigation
Receive text message-based patient navigation
