5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a randomized controlled trial that will evaluate the effectiveness of different reminder modalities for a population-based mailed FIT program at the VA Puget Sound among average risk Veterans who are due for annual colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial that will evaluate the effectiveness of two different reminder modalities in improving adherence to annual CRC screening. Veterans eligible for enrollment into the trial will be randomized in a 1:1:1 allocation using permuted block randomization (with random block sizes of 3 and 6) to the following interventions: Control arm: No reminder a. Intervention Type: No intervention Arm 2: Automated phone reminder a. Intervention Type: Standard reminder via phone (audiocare) Arm 3: Text reminder a. Intervention Type: Standard reminder via text (VEText) Randomization will be stratified within arms by prior screening status (prior screener vs. never screener)
