Brief Summary

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

To assess the feasibility and efficacy of community-based Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening intervention in increasing CRC screening rates To evaluate individual-level knowledge related to CRC screening and risk factors To characterize individual -level facilitators and barriers to engaging in CRC screening and related diagnostic tests and treatment when applicable.

Detailed Description

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

To address the multiple determinants of health that impact CRC screening in the South Shore community in the University of Illinois Cancer Center's catchment area by conducting an experimental intervention to test the effectiveness of Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) tests dispensed by community stakeholders (community-dispensed) versus FIT tests dispensed using standard of care procedures by a clinic dispensed FIT test return rates. This study will follow American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines for FIT testing, with the South Shore community area assigned to the intervention group (community-dispensed). CRC screening within the Mile Square Englewood Health Center, using standard of care, will serve as our control group to use for comparison (clinic-dispensed). The intervention will include a multifaceted approach to health education and community engagement focused on CRC led by a team of trusted health champions (community leaders, a barber, a hair salon, and community health workers) in the South Shore community area.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Community Intervention Group/Arm 1

Community navigators will work with local businesses (barber shop, hair salon) to identify and screen eligible community members within or near the South Shore community area. The navigator will engage with each potential participant using the attached script. If the participant is interested, the navigator will document the participant's contact information, and assist the participant in obtaining and returning their FIT.

Community navigators will attend community events to post the informational flyer and provide education about CRC to community members. At these events, they will identify and screen eligible community members within or near the South Shore community area. The navigator will engage with each potential participant using the attached script. If the participant is interested, the navigator will document the participant's contact information, and assist the participant in obtaining and returning their FIT.

Standard of Care (Control) Arm 2

These procedures are a detailed summary of the existing lay navigation program at Mile Square Health Center (MSHC). These procedures are unrelated to our research, except to demonstrate how the existing navigation program from which we will obtain deidentified data works.

Lay clinic navigator use clinic schedules and walk-ins to identify and screen eligible participants within the Englewood MSHC. The navigator engages with each potential participant using standard scripted language. For interested patients, the navigator documents interest and FIT dispensing as appropriate, and assists the patient in obtaining and returning their FIT.

Lay clinic navigators attend community events as normally scheduled to provide community-based health education and referral to the MSHC. At these events, they identify and screen eligible community members within the Englewood community area.
