Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To conduct a randomised control trial to test the effectiveness of telephone outreach programme to improve the uptake rate of repeat fecal occult blood test in colorectal cancer screening programme.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The colorectal cancer screening programme(CRCSP) adopts a two-tier approach, offering faecal occult blood test (FOBT) by FIT as first line screening followed by colonoscopy examination for cases with positive FIT result. Under the CRCSP, participants with negative or uninformative FIT result in the first round should be re-screened after 24 months.

The objective is to conduct a randomised control trial to test the effectiveness of telephone outreach programme to improve the uptake rate of repeat fecal occult blood test in CRCSP.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

telephone outreach

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The navigator should make at least five (5) attempts to reach the participants on different days (at least one (1) attempt in weekend) and different time slots (at least one (1) attempt each in am, pm and evening). If the navigator only reached voice mail after the 1-month intervention period, a standard script will be read and a contact number will be provided.
