Improving Colonoscopy Rates in Native Americans
This study aims to improve the rates of diagnostic colonoscopy (a procedure to look inside the colon) for Native Americans after an abnormal home stool screening. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a serious concern in Native American communities, and this study hopes to reduce these health differences. Researchers will first use focus groups to create a digital outreach program that is sensitive to Native American culture. Then, they will test this program to see how well it works to encourage timely colonoscopies. You may be able to join if you are a Native American aged 45-75, live in Oklahoma, speak English, and have email access. The study plans to enroll 164 participants.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 164 participants. It involves two stages: first, focus groups to develop a digital outreach strategy, and then testing that strategy.
- What's involved
- Participants in the first stage will take part in focus groups. Participants in the second stage will receive either digital outreach interventions or standard care, which includes a colonoscopy risk assessment.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary outcome, the focus group strategy, will be measured at 6 months.

What this trial measures
- Focus Group Strategy6 months
The investigators will use focus groups to co-develop a digital outreach intervention with Native Americans. Focus groups will help better understand how the investigators can support timely screening for colorectal cancer in this community
