Behavioral Economic Approaches for Population-Based Colorectal Cancer Screening (NCT05693649)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is a 3-year pragmatic, randomized clinical trial among average-risk patients at diverse primary care practices who are overdue for colorectal (CRC) screening. This project aims to evaluate the effect of a centralized program that includes direct outreach to patients and visit-based, clinician directed nudges facilitated by the electronic health record (EHR) with follow-up text messaging on the uptake of CRC screening. The primary outcome is CRC screening completion at 3 years. Patient and clinician factors impacting the experience and effectiveness of the intervention will be explored through surveys and qualitative interviews.
