Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The difference in the uptake rate of FOBt screening for bowel cancer (i.e. completion and return of FOBt kit) between the intervention and control groups at 13 weeks after the GP endorsed reminder and duplicate FOBt kit are sent. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Subgroup analyses of uptake by gender, age and deprivation 2. The development and validation of methods for collecting data on intervention costs 3. Qualitative work (30-40 semi-structured interviews) will be undertaken with individuals in the intervention arm who return a FOBt kit. This will investigate the relative importance of the duplicate FOBt kit, reminder to participate, and GP endorsement of that reminder in contributing to individuals? decisions to participate in screening. If the feasibility work demonstrates a significant increase in uptake of FOBt screening in individuals receiving the intervention, a future definitive trial can be designed and appropriately powered. | — |
