Interventions
BEHAVIORALCommunity Colorectal Cancer Awareness, Research, Education & Screening (C-CARES) Materials
Educational materials (photonovella +DVD) + Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) kit. Offers colorectal cancer screening information using a novella format. Materials describe colorectal cancer and screening tests that are available, and procedures for completing FIT kit.
BEHAVIORALContact Message
Card with a general message about colorectal cancer screening. This same message will be delivered at 3 time points.
BEHAVIORALPersonalized One on One Education
* Trained study coordinators will meet with participant for a brief 15 minute educational session delivered in clinic that summarizes information from the materials and demonstrates FIT collection. * Email or text reminders with brief messages in clear language will be sent that aim to remind and prompt patients to complete FIT. * For participants that are not responsive to above, trained study staff will address specific FIT specific hinderances by telephone or in clinic. * Participants will receive a one page summary of key points of salience of repeat screening GET FIT AGAIN.
