Community Partnership for Telehealth Solutions to Counter Misinformation and Achieve Equity

Non-randomized, two-arm stepped-wedge trial of a multi-level colorectal cancer screening intervention.

The PRIME study aims to improve colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and follow-up among predominantly Latinx populations by using video text messages, mailed FIT kits, and patient navigation. The study will address multi-level barriers to screening, including misinformation, lack of access, and social determinants of health. The hypothesis is that a multi-component intervention will increase CRC screening rates and follow-up care, reducing disparities in CRC outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Ages 45-64
• Eligible for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening
• Current patients (seen in the clinic in the last 6 months)
• Primary speaker of English or Spanish
• Cell phone listed in Electronic Health Record (EHR)
• No recent history of CRC screening
• Resides in one of the neighborhoods included in the main trial

Exclusion Criteria:

• Colorectal disease (e.g., ulcerative colitis or colectomy)
• Personal history of colorectal cancer
• End-stage or life-threatening diseases
• Known to be under hospice care
• Living in a skilled nursing facility
• Patients who decline research participation will be removed from the patient contact list
