Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Stage 1 Control Group
In the FOBT kit, individuals will receive a card that asks them to complete and return their FOBT kit within 30 days.
No interventions assigned to this group
$5 Incentive
In the FOBT kit, individuals will receive a card that states that if they complete and return their FOBT kit within 30 days, they will be mailed a voucher that can be exchanged for $5 at PVAMC.
Stage 1
Patients who are prescribed an FOBT kit in one of the PVAMC Primary Care clinics (i.e., Module B or C) will be randomly assigned by day to one of 4 study arms. All FOBT kits will include a card with a description of the arm that the patient has been randomized to.
