ASPIRES Trial Summary

This trial is testing different ways to get high-risk cancer survivors to get screened for colorectal cancer at the recommended age.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for high-risk cancer survivors without a family history of colorectal cancer, who were treated with certain types of radiation, and haven't had recent colorectal screenings. Participants must have a smartphone, be part of the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study, speak English, and live in the U.S.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The ASPIRES study is testing different methods to motivate these survivors to undergo colorectal cancer screening. It compares no intervention (control) with strategies aimed at activating patients directly or through their primary care providers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on activation methods rather than medical treatments or drugs, there are no direct side effects associated with the interventions being tested.
