Brief Summary
Research efforts are necessary to identify strategies to increase colorectal screening in underserved patient populations. Racial, ethnic minorities and medically underserved individuals continue to experience disparities in colorectal cancer mortality despite the availability of screening tests that can detect tumors early when treatments are most effective.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
: Colorectal Screening Strategies in the High Risk Medically Underserved Population in a Hospital-based Community Outreach Program
To determine the effectiveness of digital reminders versus telephone reminders to prompt participants to follow through with completing their colonoscopy. Comparison of the success or failure of digital versus phone call reminders will be measured. To determine the effectiveness of digital reminders versus phone reminders to follow through with completing fecal testing to screen for colorectal cancer. Comparison of the success or failure of digital versus phone call reminders will be measured.

Colorectal Screening Strategies in the High Risk Medically Underserved Population in a Hospital-based Community Outreach Program
3 month intervals
Study Arms (2)
Telephone Prompt
Following consent, the Research Team will call participants three times in the first month (within the first week of signing consent at week 2 and repeated at week 3) and then one time per month for the following two months with scripted messaging reminding the participant to complete the screening activity (colonoscopy or fecal test). Interpreter services via phone will be utilized for non-English speaking participants.
Digital Prompt
Following consent, scripted messaging will be sent three times in the first month (within the first week of signing consent at week 2 and repeated at week 3) and then once time per month for the following two months with scripted messaging reminding the participant to complete the screening activity (colonoscopy or fecal test). Digital prompts will be available in Spanish and English.
Interventions
Scripted messaging to remind subjects to complete their colorectal screening (colonoscopy or fecal test)
