Overview
Brief Summary
This study is designed to test a standard mailed intervention (SI) versus a novel decision support and navigation intervention (DSNI). Working with patients and stakeholders, this randomized trial will include 400 Hispanic men and women who are 50 to 75 years of age, patients in community based primary care practices, and are eligible for CRC screening. We will consent, survey, and randomize participants either to the SI Group (n=200) or the DSNI Group (n=200). Study specific aims are to: (1) Assess intervention (DSNI versus SI) impact on overall CRC screening adherence; (2)Assess intervention (DNSI versus SI) impact on CRC screening decision stage; (3) Assess intervention (DNSI versus SI) impact on test-specific CRC screening adherence; and (4) Assess intervention (DNSI versus SI) impact on CRC and knowledge and perceptions.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Overall Screening Adherence
Time Frame: 12 months
The two study groups will be compared in terms of the fraction of participants who undergo CRC screening (through SBT, colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, etc.) within 12 months of the randomization date. Screening will be measured using data from the 6-month survey and the 12-month chart audit.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in Screening Decision Stage(6 months)
- Screening Knowledge and Perceptions(6 months)
- Test Specific Screening Adherence(12 Months)
