Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Community Intervention Group/Arm 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Community navigators will work with local businesses (barber shop, hair salon) to identify and screen eligible community members within or near the South Shore community area. The navigator will engage with each potential participant using the attached script. If the participant is interested, the navigator will document the participant's contact information, and assist the participant in obtaining and returning their FIT. Community navigators will attend community events to post the informational flyer and provide education about CRC to community members. At these events, they will identify and screen eligible community members within or near the South Shore community area. The navigator will engage with each potential participant using the attached script. If the participant is interested, the navigator will document the participant's contact information, and assist the participant in obtaining and returning their FIT.
Group II: Standard of Care (Control) Arm 2Active Control1 Intervention
These procedures are a detailed summary of the existing lay navigation program at Mile Square Health Center (MSHC). These procedures are unrelated to our research, except to demonstrate how the existing navigation program from which we will obtain deidentified data works. Lay clinic navigator use clinic schedules and walk-ins to identify and screen eligible participants within the Englewood MSHC. The navigator engages with each potential participant using standard scripted language. For interested patients, the navigator documents interest and FIT dispensing as appropriate, and assists the patient in obtaining and returning their FIT. Lay clinic navigators attend community events as normally scheduled to provide community-based health education and referral to the MSHC. At these events, they identify and screen eligible community members within the Englewood community area.
