Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to conduct 4 focus groups and recruit for 12 participants per focus group to explore community members' views about colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) processes and perceived benefits and impediments, what information they believe should be communicated, communication preferences (style, tone) and perceptions of screenings.
Interventions
Both intervention groups will receive an I-FOBT kit (by study coordinator) with verbal and written instructions in Spanish on how to complete the stool sampling at home within 1 week, and mail the completed kit in the pre-addressed, postage paid mailer. Patients with abnormal results will receive a call explaining the meaning of an abnormal I-FOBT and encouraging them to take specific next steps.
