Study Details

Study Description

Brief 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

Intervention Model Description:
The intervention is an integrated system built on the concept of nudging and made up of a trained family doctor, community outreach(using landline calls, and a single FIT test for occult blood. Together with the information, education, and communication (IEC) texts that were sent to the outreach participants by SMS. There were also educational efforts to encourage people to go for screenings. 26 public primary healthcare facilities are available in Hail City, and both the intervention and control groups will be housed there.The intervention is an integrated system built on the concept of nudging and made up of a trained family doctor, community outreach(using landline calls, and a single FIT test for occult blood.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: 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).

Other: Certain ommunications(Nudge), community-outreach(landline call), and single FIT testing

No Intervention: Routine Care for colorectal cancer screening

The comparators will be individuals with an average risk of colorectal cancer of both genders attending the selected health centres / or recruited through a community outreach approach.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. To compare the CRC screening enrollment rates between the intervention and control groups. [6 month from the start of the study]

    The proportion of people who had CRC screening who were included in the intervention group as opposed to the control group

  2. To assess if positive subjects are complying with follow-up screening [6 month from the start of the study]

    The proportion of participants in the intervention group compared to the control group who tested positive and underwent a colonoscopy as a follow-up.
