Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Experimental Arm 4Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients identified by one or more healthcare systems to be due or overdue for colorectal cancer screening will be informed by their healthcare provider or healthcare system (e.g. via the healthcare system's patient portal) that they are due for screening and will be informed how to schedule an colorectal cancer screening related appointment (e.g. discussion with primary care provider about colorectal cancer screening options) along with the option to receive education about colorectal cancer screening. Patients who are interested in receiving education may view the education with or without participating in the research study. Patients who elect to be study participants will participate in consenting, eligibility screening, pre-test, post-test, and possible three- and six-month using a parallel structure to study arms two and three.
Group II: Experimental Arm 3Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
People with social medial accounts (e.g. Facebook) will receive a message about the study (e.g. via an age and geospatially targeted Facebook ad) and have the option to enroll in the study if meeting eligibility criteria, with some participating in online or telephone follow-up. This arms will serve as an experimental arm for assessing study aim 2 and as a control arm for study aim 1.
Group III: Experimental Arm 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
People with social medial accounts (e.g. Facebook) will receive a message about the study (e.g. via an age and geospatially targeted Facebook ad) and have the option to enroll in the study if meeting eligibility criteria, with some participating in online or telephone follow-up.
Group IV: Experimental Arm 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Attendees at in-person events (e.g. health fairs) who meet eligibility criteria will be able to enroll and participate in-person, with some participating in online or telephone survey follow-up.
