About this study

In plain language

This study tests two ways to improve a mailed FIT program: the kit materials and how patients get help with screening. FIT is a stool test used to screen for cancer of the colon or rectum. The study is for people in Appalachia who have an average risk of this cancer and are not up to date on screening.

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.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
