This is an interventional prevention trial for Colorectal Cancer focused on measuring Tailored navigation, Tailored messages
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Phase I Inclusion criteria:
- participants will be aged 50-75,
- speak either English or Spanish,
- live in low-income neighborhoods (including a range of race and ethnicity),
- are due for CRC screening,
- may be at average or high risk for CRC,
- either will not identify a regular clinic they attend or will be registered (or identify) with one of the clinic systems engaged in our study. Those who do identify a clinic home, however, will also be encouraged to join the study as long as they are due for screening.
Phase II Inclusion criteria:
• Participants who keep their clinic appointment from Phase I will be enrolled in the study by clinic navigators and the Phase I inclusion criteria (above) will be re-confirmed.
Exclusion Criteria:

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
No Intervention
Tailored Navigation
Control
Participants will receive tailored navigation phone calls to assist them with barriers in making a clinic appointment or attending the clinic. The tailored navigation intervention protocol will be used to guide individuals from an especially hard-to-reach, multicultural, and underinsured population into primary care clinics and, subsequently, track the effects of this intervention through a clinic navigation program to complete Colorectal cancer screening.
Participants in the control arm will receive phone calls to support data collection and tracking, but not receive tailored messages
