Pilot Study: Eliminating Barriers to Colorectal Cancer Screening

This pilot study is looking at ways to improve colorectal cancer screening. Researchers are testing different strategies to overcome common challenges that prevent people from getting screened. They will do this by talking to staff at community health centers (CHCs) to understand what helps and what gets in the way of screening. They will then try out new approaches to make screening easier for patients, providers, and the healthcare system. The study aims to see if these new strategies are acceptable, practical, and appropriate. This study is currently enrolling staff members from partnering CHCs who are involved in colorectal cancer screening practices.

Study design
This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 2 participants. It uses a mixed-methods approach, combining focus groups with staff and analysis of existing patient data.
What's involved
Participants are staff members at partnering sites who will likely participate in focus groups and contribute to identifying barriers and facilitators.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The main outcomes, such as acceptability and feasibility of the strategies, will be measured at 4 months.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Staff members at partnering sites (see locations) who are administrative leaders, population health managers, data analysts, quality improvement staff, nurses, nurse managers, practice managers, medical assistants, and providers.
Staff members at partnering sites ages 18+.

Exclusion

Staff members that are not involved in CRC screening practices at CHCs.
  • Primary Outcome 1: Acceptability of Implementation Strategies4 months

    The investigators will measure the acceptability of the implementation strategies determined in Aim 2. This will be measured through a post-implementation survey given to the CHC staff members who participate in systems-level implementation at the two CHC pilot test sites in Aim 3.

  • Primary Outcome 2: Feasibility of Implementation Strategies4 months

    The investigators will measure the feasibility of the implementation strategies determined in Aim 2. This will be measured through a post-implementation survey given to the CHC staff members who participate in systems-level implementation at the two CHC pilot test sites in Aim 3.

  • Primary Outcome 3: Appropriateness of Implementation Strategies4 months

    The investigators will measure the appropriateness of the implementation strategies determined in Aim 2. This will be measured through a post-implementation survey given to the CHC staff members who participate in systems-level implementation at the two CHC pilot test sites in Aim 3.
