Summary

Fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) are a primary method of screening for colorectal cancer (CRC). Implementation intention planning involves encouraging completion or eliminating barriers for the participant to make a plan to complete a behavior or activity. This randomized control study seeks to answer whether the addition of an implementation intention guide impacts behaviors when completing FIT screening. The primary objective includes determining if the implementation intention guide increases completion rate of screening FIT. The secondary objectives is whether this intervention decreases the lab sample rejection rate and reduces the duration between sample collection and laboratory receipt/evaluation of screening FIT.

Conditions

  • Fecal Immunochemical Test
  • Colorectal Cancer Screening

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Implementation Intention Guide

The intervention is the addition of implementation intention guide document provided with the FIT. This is a one-page piece of paper that was developed by the investigator team and finalized with input/feedback from patient partners. The implementation intention guide includes instructions about the importance of developing a plan to complete FIT. It also includes fillable fields for participants to enter their plan for when to complete, where to store, when to return, and where to return their FIT. Participants will also be able to follow a QR code on the implementation intention guide document to a link to complete an anonymous, electronic version of the guide and share feedback on the intervention.
