Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The incidence of adenoma and of CRC in study participants who undergo one of the proposed screening options will be measured in the context of this screening option. The incidence of adenoma and of CRC in study participants who do not participate in any screening measures and in those who do not participate in the program will be estimated based on administrative health records during the project period. The statistical analysis will take the difference in detection probabilities of adenoma and of CRC in the different groups in account. | — |
