Official title
Can a Multimodal Approach Using SMS Reminders and an Opt-out Mailed FIT Kits Improve Participation in Colorectal Cancer Screening? A Single Center Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This pilot study is a 2-armed randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of a multimodal approach on colorectal cancer screening participation rates in a Federally Qualified Health Center. The trial will test serial text message reminders and opt-out mailed fecal immunochemistry test (FIT) home kits against a simple reminder text message control. Patients aged 50-74 years, who are registered at a Family Practice and Counselling Network (FPCN) clinic and are overdue for colorectal cancer screening will be recruited. The primary outcome is the rate of FIT kits being returned at 12 weeks.
