Colorectal Cancer Screening in Phoenix Communities

This study aims to improve colorectal cancer screening rates in Black and underserved communities in Phoenix, where these communities face higher rates of colorectal cancer. It tests whether providing free, home-based Fecal Immunochemical Tests (FIT), education about colorectal cancer screening, and patient navigation (help guiding you through the healthcare system) for positive results can help close this gap. You may be able to join if you are 45 or older, have no history of colorectal cancer or certain polyps, and haven't had a colonoscopy in the last 5 years or a FIT test recently. The study hopes to reduce colorectal cancer disparities in these populations.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 450 participants. It involves educational interventions, FIT testing, patient navigation, and questionnaires.
What's involved
You would receive education, complete a questionnaire, and self-collect a FIT sample to mail in. If your FIT test is positive, a patient navigator will help you with next steps.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
If your FIT test is positive, you will be followed up at 2 and 4 weeks after initial outreach to ensure you receive adequate follow-up.
