Summary

In order to encourage the population at risk to participate in colorectal cancer screening, this clustered trial intends to determine the efficacy of specific messages(Nudge), single FIT testing, and the primary care physician's clinical judgment on referral to colonoscopy. It primarily seeks to provide answers to the following questions: How effective is the modified integrated CRC screening system (MICRCSS) for individuals with average colorectal cancer risk? based on the percentage of individuals who had CRC screening, registered for the follow-up, and were discovered to have precancerous CRC issues a year after the program's start, as contrasted to individuals receiving standard medical care? All public government entities in the Hail region will be contacted with invitations to participate in the study (outreach). the organization

Detailed description

Introduction: Incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC), which starts in the innermost lining mucosa of the colon or rectum, is third (10.2%) in the globe behind lung and breast cancers (11,6%), according to the Global Cancer Observatory (GCO) 2018. According to a 2010 research, Saudi Arabia had an incidence of 10.4/100,000; regrettably, the incidence among young age groups is greater than that in countries with high incidence. The majority of colorectal malignancies (CRCs) are first identified as polyps, which are small benign growths or projections seen inside the lumen of the colon. If a polyp is larger than 1 cm, if there are more than two polyps present, or if dysplasia is seen after the polyp is removed, the polyp is considered to be precancerous. Precancerous adenomas, hyperplastic polyps, or inflammatory polyps

Conditions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Certain ommunications(Nudge), community-outreach(landline call), and single FIT testing	The intervention is an integrated system made up of single FIT testing, community outreach (landline call), and specific messages (Nudge). In order to encourage people to attend the screening, a primary care physician will be used in addition to text messages that participants at the outreach get for information, education, and communication (IEC).
