Usual Care
Participants will receive a letter from their clinic explaining CRC screening options (fecal immunochemical test (FIT) vs colonoscopy) including a FIT kit with completion and return instructions. The letter will also include information for navigation to a screening colonoscopy instead of FIT testing, if deemed to be the participant's preference. Approximately 10-14 days after mailing the FIT kit, participants who have not completed screening will receive a telephone call (with voice message left) and text message, querying whether the FIT kit was received and reminding the participant to complete the test or request a new kit, if needed. If the FIT kit has not been submitted after about two weeks from the reminder call/text message, the study team will mail a final letter to the participant on behalf of the clinic, reminding them to complete and return the FIT kit.
Individuals in the usual care group will not be approached or notified of their enrollment in the study.
