Rethinking Colorectal Cancer Screening: Culturally Tailored Navigation for Mailed FIT Kits in 45- to 49-Year-Olds
A culturally tailored mailed FIT intervention with navigation significantly improved screening rates among newly eligible adults, especially Hispanic patients. The findings highlight the importance of culturally tailored, multi-modal navigation to increase screening among younger, newly eligible adults and reduce screening disparities among underrepresented groups. Findings support broader implementation and suggest that navigation services can advance health equity in primary care. Future work should explore scalability and compare navigation to usual care.
