NCT04831827

Brief Summary

This is a randomized trial to assess the efficacy of reminder mechanisms on colorectal cancer (CRC) screening uptake among a cohort of patients who were previously mailed a multitarget stool DNA (mt-sDNA) test and did not complete the screening. Patients will be identified as being due for CRC screening and will be mailed a mt-sDNA kit to their home. Patients who do not complete screening with mt-sDNA within 30 days will be identified and randomized into one of three study arms to receive reminders to complete the mt-sDNA screening. The primary outcome is the rate of completion of screening for colorectal cancer with mt-sDNA test.

Eligibility Criteria

Age50 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Adults, between 50 to 75 years old.
