- Participants must have no personal history of CRC or current presumptive CRC symptoms such as unresolved rectal bleeding or abdominal pain/bloating.
- Participants must be at average risk for CRC (no hereditary CRC syndromes such as lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, persistent diarrhea, bloating, or lower GI pain, no strong family history of CRC).
- Participants must be asymptomatic for HCV.
- Participants receiving intervention materials must be able and willing to complete surveys and receive the patient level intervention.

Interventions
Participants will be asked to complete a survey with specific topics including Hepatitis C (HCV) and Colorectal (CRC) knowledge and health beliefs, screening intentions and demographic characteristics. Participants will be provided with education intervention materials (for example, a booklet) either in-person or via mail, access to free stool-based CRC screening, and access to free HCV screening. Approximately 1-2 weeks after receiving the education materials, participants will be asked to complete a post-intervention survey about the same specific topics (for example, HCV and CRC knowledge, HCV and CRC health beliefs, HCV and CRC screening intentions, healthcare experiences, perceptions of the educational materials) over the phone with a trained study staff. Participants with a positive HCV screening and/or CRC screening result will be navigated to follow-up care as needed.
