This is a randomized controlled pilot study aimed at testing different outreach strategies to increase colorectal cancer screening using mailed fecal immunohistochemical testing (FIT). The investigators will randomize a cohort of subjects between the ages of 50-74 into 2 arms:
- Opt-In - subject must actively choose to receive a home FIT kit.
- Opt-Out - a FIT kit is sent as a default unless the subject actives chooses not to receive the kit or reports prior screening.

---|---|
Experimental: Opt-In
Opt-In Outreach
|
Subjects will receive a communication (mail or electronic) describing the importance of colorectal cancer screening with the option to elect to receive a home FIT kit or report prior screening.
|
Experimental: Opt-Out
Opt-Out Outreach
|
Subjects will receive a communication (mail or electronic) describing the importance of colorectal cancer screening with the option to choose not to receive a home FIT kit or report prior screening.
A FIT kit will otherwise be sent to the subject as a default.
