Fit Abnormal to Colonoscopy: Equity in Screening Completion (FACES)
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
The goals of this proposal are to: (1) identify patient- and system-level determinants of diagnostic colonoscopy after positive FIT; (2) identify patient- and system-level equity-driven implementation strategies for diagnostic colonoscopy after positive FIT matched to determinants; and (3) pilot test patient- and systems-level implementation strategies to increase rate of colonoscopy after positive FIT and determine feasibility and acceptability of strategies using mixed methods

Treatments
Patients and staff will be recruited from Codman Square Health Center.
This project builds on an existing partnership with Codman Square Health Center (CSHC). CSCHC is located in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston which has among the highest mortality rates from colorectal cancer in the city. Codman Square Health Center serves a patient population that is 86% Black and 87% income at or below the federal poverty limit, thus requiring an equity-driven approach. Patients will be aged 45-75 and staff will be over 18 who currently work at CSHC in CRC screening. There is no intervention as this is an implementation study to identify patient- and system-level determinants of diagnostic colonoscopy after positive FIT test in individuals using mixed methods.
