Massachusetts General Hospital

Enrollment

45 participants

Start Date

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Colorectal Cancer Screening

Summary

The goals of this proposal are to: (1) identify patient- and system-level determinants of diagnostic colonoscopy after positive FIT; (2) identify patient- and system-level equity-driven implementation strategies for diagnostic colonoscopy after positive FIT matched to determinants; and (3) pilot test patient- and systems-level implementation strategies to increase rate of colonoscopy after positive FIT and determine feasibility and acceptability of strategies using mixed methods

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is trying to increase the number of people who follow up with a colonoscopy after a positive stool-based cancer screening test (called a FIT test). A positive FIT means blood was detected in the stool, which can be a sign of colorectal cancer or pre-cancerous polyps. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 45 and 75 years old - You are a patient at Codman Square Health Center - You have had a positive FIT test but have not yet had a colonoscopy - You are willing and able to provide consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a personal history of colorectal cancer - You have a family history of colorectal cancer - You have inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) - You have a high-risk cancer syndrome (like Lynch syndrome) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
