Brief Title: Health Service Intervention for the Improvement of Access and Adherence to Colorectal Cancer Screening
Official Title: Increasing Access and Developing Predictors for Colorectal Cancer Screening for Minority and Medicaid Clients
Study ID: NCT04607291
Brief Summary: This phase I study investigates how well a health service program called Witness CARES Services works in increasing access and adherence to colorectal cancer screening in patients who have not undergone a colorectal screening in the past year. Providing patients with navigational and screening services via Witness CARES Services may improve access to and adherence levels of colorectal screening.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Test the feasibility of Witness CARES (WC) Services to achieve colorectal carcinoma (CRC) screening for non-adherent Medicaid clients. II. Develop an algorithm for predicting CRC screening outcomes following intervention services. OUTLINE: Patients who are not prepared for a colonoscopy or stool test receive educational materials, messages, and videos electronically or by mail with information about colorectal screening and are followed up by phone within 2 weeks. Patients desiring colonoscopy receive navigator assistance with obtaining the screening (e.g.,determining gastrointestinal doctor, scheduling appointment, prep materials and process, transportation, escort). Patients desiring a stool test receive navigator assistance by facilitating fecal tests. After completion of study, patients are followed up periodically.
