OUTLINE:~Participants receive S2S online screening education and FIT kit for sample collection.~After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at 3 months.
This clinical trial determines the feasibility of a multilevel approach to improve colorectal cancer screening within two rural regions of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center/University of Washington Consortium catchment area. The catchment area is the greater Puget Sound Region (13 counties). These rural counties have the highest overall rates of cancer incidence and mortality in the area; rural/small town residents in the catchment area had the lowest rates of meeting mammogram, Pap, and colorectal screening recommendations. This study involves observational data and questionnaire assessments to determine if an online version of the evidence-informed national colorectal cancer screening program, known as Screen to Save (S2S) and a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) kit distribution are acceptable and accessible to patients. FIT kits may help doctors find colorectal cancer sooner, when it may be easier to treat.
