FIT Mailing Protocol-For Cancer Screening Navigation

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Colorectal Neoplasms

In brief

We plan to study whether the impact of offering the choice of a pre-colonoscopy physician visit or direct referral to colonoscopy will increase adherence to colonoscopy relative to usual care in a large fecal immunochemical test (FIT) mailing campaign. We will evaluate two study options, usual care during which patients will be required to have an office visit with wither a PCP or a Gastroenterologist prior to being scheduled for a colonoscopy, or a choice where patients will be given the option of a pre-colonoscopy visit with a gastroenterologist or PCP vs. direct referral for a colonoscopy. In these two options we will examine colonoscopy adherence, adequacy of triage, patient satisfaction, colonoscopy outcomes (no show rate, prep quality, and pain during colonoscopy) and how insurance coverage, gender, race, education or patient understanding of colon cancer screening message during the navigation process might impact outcomes.
