RECRUITING

A Cross-sectional Partnership to Improve Prevention and Health Equity Among African Americans

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

African Americans face racial disparities in colorectal cancer (CRC), with lower screening rates and higher incidence and mortality rates. To address this gap and improve CRC screening rates, investigators aims to recruit a total of 1,200 African American participants aged 45-75 during their visits to the DMV, 4606 N 56th St Ste100, Omaha, for CRC screening. All participants will receive a free Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) kit with a prepaid return envelope, a culturally tailored educational brochure, reminder text messages and calls, and post-FIT navigation support for participants with positive results or without family doctor/insurance. Kits are returned to a designated Nebraska Medicine lab for testing, and test results will be mailed to participants within 14-21 days. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups: the on-site distribution group or the on-site distribution group with social media advertising group. The social media advertising group will additionally be exposed to targeted ads on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to increase awareness and potentially improve participation rates. The study will compare FIT kit return rates, positive screening rates, and completion rates of follow-up colonoscopies after positive FIT results between the two groups.
