Evaluation of Letters Promoting Colorectal Cancer Testing

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cancer Colorectal

In brief

In this evaluation, 4 different versions of letters are being sent with mailers promoting colorectal cancer screening with an at-home test. The researchers hypothesize that the use of behavioral nudges in the message should lead to increased colorectal cancer screening (either with the at-home test or a colonoscopy).
