Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A majority of patients will opt for Fecal Occult Blood Testing (FOBT)as one of their preferred tests, after undergoing the "Patient Navigator" intervention and that proportion will be significantly greater than the group who opt for FOBT in the control group.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Number of patients who receive a letter and patient navigation services and get screened compared to the control group.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
Proportion (%) of patients preferring FOBT vs.colonoscopy; Predictors of CRC screening and screening preference.
Subjects: Ambulatory patients (men-women aged 50 years and above) recruited from primary care practices at the Group Health Centre, Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. All patients will be screened for eligibility and those who are eligible and agree to participate in the study will be randomized to either of the two study arms: intervention group or control group.
