CARES-REACH: Colorectal Cancer Awareness, Research and Education and Screening - Rural Expansion, Access and Capacity for Health
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is to assess the impact of the CARES-REACH intervention on colorectal cancer screening rates.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Detailed Description
This study will not accrue individual patients. Instead, the investigators are collecting process data from health care providers to determine the procedures that impact or help to increase colorectal cancer screening rates.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Wave 1 Only: Clinics using CARES Intervention Based on a stratified (rural vs urban) procedure, investigators will randomly select 7 clinics to implement the Colorectal Cancer Awareness, Research, Education & Screening (CARES) intervention. |
Behavioral: Provider Tools
Providers will be trained to use Electronic Medical Record (EMR) tools and prompts, and an organization wide cancer control champion will be trained to motivate providers and navigate patients.
Behavioral: Provider surveys
Remote/electronic data collection surveys will be conducted with clinic institution leaders, cancer control champions, and providers from various clinic locations to solicit feedback about implementation processes at three time points (baseline, mid-point and end of study implementation)

Wave 1 Only: Control Clinics Based on a stratified (rural vs urban) procedure, investigators will randomly select 7 clinics as control (usual care) clinics. |
|
All Clinics For Wave 2, the 7 clinics in the control group will roll out as intervention clinic, thus, all 14 clinics will be exposed to the intervention by year 2. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates - Initial FIT [Years 1-5]
Percentage of patients who complete initial Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)
- Change in Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates - Repeat FIT [Years 1-5]
Percentage of patients who complete a repeat Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Differences in Screening Rates [Years 2-5]
Screening rate differences to determine how variables such as clinic setting (rural vs urban), population characteristics such as nativity (foreign born status), language preference, education, income, health insurance, etc. differentially impact annual clinic Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening rates.
