About this trial

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second-leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the United States. Compared to national averages, Native Americans (NA) endure a disproportionate burden of CRC incidence and CRC-specific mortality. The long-term goal of this collaboration is to enhance health equity through the reduction of CRC disparities in morbidity, mortality, stage-at-diagnosis, and survival among NA. To do so, the primary focus of these efforts has been to improve processes that increase uptake of home stool screening. The overall objective is to leverage these relationships and infrastructure to now focus on improving rates of timely diagnostic colonoscopy follow up after an abnormal home stool screening.

Focus Group Strategy

The investigators will use focus groups to co-develop a digital outreach intervention with Native Americans. Focus groups will help better understand how the investigators can support timely screening for colorectal cancer in this community

Time frame
6 months

Secondary outcomes

Digital Outreach Intervention Strategies

We will test the reach, feasibility, and potential efficacy of digital outreach intervention strategies (Aim 2) and the penetration, acceptability, and scalability of the digital outreach intervention strategies (Aim 3).
