Brief Title: Mailed FIT Outreach 2022
Official Title: Pragmatic Trial of Behavioral Interventions to Increase Response to Mailed FIT Outreach
Study ID: NCT05341622
Brief Summary: This project aims to evaluate different approaches to increase colorectal cancer screening among primary care patients at Penn Medicine through a centralized screening outreach program. In a pragmatic trial, we will evaluate different approaches to increase response rate to mailed fecal immunochemical test (FIT) kits among eligible patients, including differentiated packaging, sending text reminders, and personalized reminders.
Detailed Description: While colonoscopy procedures are recommended by guidelines for early detection of colorectal cancer, colonoscopy access remains limited due to delays in screening due to the pandemic and capacity issues. In this project, we will evaluate different ways of reaching out to eligible patients to encourage them to participate in colorectal cancer screening using fecal immunochemical testing (FIT). In a mailed FIT outreach campaign, we will compare user friendly packaging, text messaging, and personalized reminders to standard outreach with the goal of increasing colorectal cancer screening uptake.
