Health Service Intervention for the Improvement of Access and Adherence to Colorectal Cancer Screening

Colorectal Carcinoma Clinical Trial

Official title: Increasing Access and Developing Predictors for Colorectal Cancer Screening for Minority and Medicaid Clients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial 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.

Clinical Trial 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. ;
