Summary

To assess the feasibility and efficacy of community-based Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening intervention in increasing CRC screening rates To evaluate individual-level knowledge related to CRC screening and risk factors To characterize individual -level facilitators and barriers to engaging in CRC screening and related diagnostic tests and treatment when applicable.

Detailed description

To address the multiple determinants of health that impact CRC screening in the South Shore community in the University of Illinois Cancer Center's catchment area by conducting an experimental intervention to test the effectiveness of Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) tests dispensed by community stakeholders (community-dispensed) versus FIT tests dispensed using standard of care procedures by a clinic dispensed FIT test return rates. This study will follow American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines for FIT testing, with the South Shore community area assigned to the intervention group (community-dispensed). CRC screening within the Mile Square Englewood Health Center, using standard of care, will serve as our control group to use for comparison (clinic-dispensed). The intervention will include a multifaceted approach to health education and community engagement focused on CRC led by a team of trusted health champions (community leaders, a barber, a hair salon, and community health workers) in the South Shore community area.
