Mailed FIT Outreach to Improve Colon Cancer Screening in the Safety-net System

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Colonic Neoplasms

In brief

Uptake of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is suboptimal in the San Francisco Health Network and access to care may be limited so novel models of health care delivery are warranted. The objective of this study is to examine whether a centralized panel management model with mailed fecal immunochemical test (FIT) will be effective at increasing the uptake of CRC screening and could be developed and sustained within the typical parameters of cost-effectiveness and budget impact analyses.
