Summary

The investigators overall goals are to adapt, implement, evaluate, and disseminate the FLU-FOBT Program as an integrated nurse-run, primary care-based intervention that can reduce colorectal cancer screening disparities in resource-poor clinical settings. In this program, fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) are provided with influenza vaccinations (FLU) to eligible patients between the ages of 50 and 75 during FLU season. The investigators hypothesis is that the FLU-FOBT Program can be adapted for primary care settings and lead to higher rates of colorectal cancer screening (CRCS).
