About this study
In plain language
This study tests a program with several parts to help patients complete screening for cancer of the colon or rectum. It is for Cornell Scott Hill Health patients who have not finished an ordered screening test or have an abnormal stool test without follow-up.
This is a 4 arm pragmatic trial to test a multicomponent intervention designed to improve adherence to colorectal cancer screening.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Have a primary care doctor at Cornell Scott Hill Health or have had more than one adult medicine visit there in the past year.
- Have an unfinished colonoscopy or stool screening test ordered 90–365 days before study group assignment. A colonoscopy uses a camera to look inside the colon.
- OR have an abnormal stool screening test with no follow-up colonoscopy completed within 90 days of the result. These patients join a study group that is not assigned by chance.
Who can't join
- No one who meets the entry rules will be excluded.
Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
Official eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Established adult medicine patient at Cornell Scott Hill health (defined as having a CSHH primary care doctor or \>1 adult medicine visits in the last year). * Incomplete colorectal cancer screening test defined as an outstanding order for colonoscopy or stool-based CRC screening (e.g., fecal immunochemical test (FIT) or FIT-DNA testing), but no evidence of test completion at the time of randomization. Orders must have been placed between 90-365 days prior to randomization. OR * Abnormal stool-based test without follow-up, defined as an abnormal stool-based test result (e.g., positive FIT or FIT-DNA) with no completed diagnostic colonoscopy within 90 days of the result. Patients who meet this criterion will be included in a non randomized arm of the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Because this is a pragmatic study of a behavioral intervention to improve colorectal cancer screening adherence, any participants who otherwise meet the inclusion criteria will not be excluded.
