Official Title: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Screening Strategies Using Quantitative Versus Qualitative Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) to Prioritize Urgency of Colonoscopy Referral - a Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol
Study ID: NCT02037646
Brief Summary: The main aim of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in time to diagnosis of advanced colorectal neoplasms using quantitative Fecal Immunochemical Tests (FIT) to prioritize referral for colonoscopy (intervention) compared to usual care (qualitative FIT and appointment-based referral).
Detailed Description: It is hypothesized that quantitative FIT will enable faster detection of advanced neoplasms compared to qualitative FIT.
