Study Summary

This trial will test whether a patient navigation program can increase colonoscopy completion rates for colorectal cancer screening in rural populations.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for rural residents aged 45-75 who've been referred for a colonoscopy as part of colorectal cancer screening within the last three months. It's not open to those who've already had a colonoscopy since referral, live long-term in institutions (if over 65), are on hospice care, or have had colorectal cancer or total colectomy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if a patient navigation program helps increase the rate at which people complete their recommended colonoscopies for colorectal cancer screening compared to usual care. Participants will be recruited from various primary care organizations.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on patient navigation rather than medication, there aren't direct side effects like with drugs. However, participants may experience anxiety or discomfort related to scheduling and undergoing a colonoscopy.
