Verhaltensökonomische Ansätze für die bevölkerungsbasierte Darmkrebsvorsorge

2. Oktober 2026 aktualisiert von: Shivan Mehta, Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine

This is a 3-year pragmatic, randomized clinical trial among average-risk patients at diverse primary care practices who are overdue for colorectal (CRC) screening. This project aims to evaluate the effect of a centralized program that includes direct outreach to patients and visit-based, clinician directed nudges facilitated by the electronic health record (EHR) with follow-up text messaging on the uptake of CRC screening. The primary outcome is CRC screening completion at 3 years. Patient and clinician factors impacting the experience and effectiveness of the intervention will be explored through surveys and qualitative interviews.

Studienübersicht

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Despite effective strategies for prevention, early detection, and treatment, colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States (US). While there have been considerable policy and system-level efforts to increase CRC screening rates, uptake remains well below national goals of 80% participation. Members of racial and ethnic minorities are even further behind. Approaches to increase population-based screening can consider [1] how screening is encouraged by targeting the clinicians who typically order or recommend the procedure or the patient who completes it; and [2] the kind of screening offered (e.g., colonoscopy or fecal immunochemical testing [FIT]). This project simultaneously tests interventions along both of these dimensions.

Waffen und Interventionen

Teilnehmergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandlung
Experimental: Arm 1A: Usual Care

Patients assigned to the Usual Care arm will receive current usual care and will not receive direct patient outreach or any visit-based interventions from this trial.

Patient will not receive direct outreach prompting them to schedule and/or complete colorectal cancer screening.

Patient's clinician will not receive an alert prompting them to discuss colorectal cancer screening with their patient upon visit. Patient will not receive a text message 3 days after visit reminding them to complete colorectal cancer screening.

Experimental: Arm 2A: Colonoscopy Only and No Nudge/Text

Using bulk ordering, patients assigned to this arm will receive an order for colonoscopy and direct outreach (via text message and either the electronic patient portal or mailed letter, depending on their patient portal status) informing them they are overdue for CRC screening. Patients randomized to this arm will not receive visit-based interventions.

Patient's clinician will not receive an alert prompting them to discuss colorectal cancer screening with their patient upon visit. Patient will not receive a text message 3 days after visit reminding them to complete colorectal cancer screening.

Patient will receive direct outreach including an order to schedule and complete colonoscopy.

Experimental: Arm 2B: Colonoscopy Only and Visit-Based Nudge/Text

Using bulk ordering, patients assigned to this arm will receive an order for colonoscopy and direct outreach (via text message and either the electronic patient portal or mailed letter, depending on their patient portal status) informing them they are overdue for CRC screening. Patients randomized to this arm who attend a visit with their Primary Care Physician (PCP) will additionally receive a visit-based, clinician directed nudge to discuss colorectal cancer screening and a follow-up text 3 days post-visit to encourage screening completion.

Patient will receive direct outreach including an order to schedule and complete colonoscopy.

Patient's clinician will receive an alert prompting them to discuss colorectal cancer screening with their patient upon visit. Patient will also receive a text message 3 days after visit reminding them to complete colorectal cancer screening.

Experimental: Arm 3A: Sequential Choice and No Nudge/Text

Using bulk ordering, patients assigned to this arm will receive an order for colonoscopy and direct outreach (via text message and either the electronic patient portal or mailed letter, depending on their patient portal status) informing them they are overdue for CRC screening. If not completed, patients will receive an order and a mailed fecal immunochemical test (FIT) with a reminder to complete CRC screening. Patients randomized to this arm will not receive visit-based interventions.

Patient's clinician will not receive an alert prompting them to discuss colorectal cancer screening with their patient upon visit. Patient will not receive a text message 3 days after visit reminding them to complete colorectal cancer screening.

Patient will receive direct outreach including an order to schedule and complete colonoscopy then an at-home fecal immunochemical test (FIT) if colonoscopy is not completed.

Experimental: Arm 3B: Sequential Choice and Visit-Based Nudge/Text

Using bulk ordering, patients assigned to this arm will receive an order for colonoscopy and direct outreach (via text message and either the electronic patient portal or mailed letter, depending on their patient portal status) informing them they are overdue for CRC screening. If not completed, patients will receive an order and a mailed fecal immunochemical test (FIT) with a reminder to complete CRC screening. Patients randomized to this arm who attend a visit with their Primary Care Physician (PCP) will additionally receive a visit-based, clinician directed nudge to discuss colorectal cancer screening and a follow-up text 3 days post-visit to encourage screening completion.
