Summary

The goal of this randomized trial is to test the effect of a reminder telephone call in the official native language in the country where the invitee is born, in addition to the reminder letter in Norwegian on participation in the National Colorectal Cancer Screening Program in Pakistani and Somalian immigrants, compared to the reminder letter in Norwegian only.

The main question it aims to answer is:

•Does a reminder telephone call in the language of origin increase participation in colorectal cancer screening in Pakistani and Somalian immigrants in Norway?

Participants in this trial are individuals with Pakistan or Somalia as their country of birth invited to the National Colorectal Cancer Screening Program, who have not participated by mailing a faecal sample to the screening laboratory.

In the intervention group, the participants will be called in the official language in their country of origin, to inform about colorectal cancer screening, in addition to the reminder letter in Norwegian language sent to all non-participants.

Participants in the comparison group will only be sent the reminder letter in Norwegian language.

The researchers will compare differences in the participation rate in the National Colorectal Cancer Screening Program between the intervention and comparison groups.
