This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether patient navigation and education can help more people in Black and underserved communities get screened for colorectal cancer. You would receive a free, take-home screening test (called a FIT test), complete some education about colorectal cancer screening, and answer a brief health questionnaire. If your test result is positive, a patient navigator will help guide you to the next steps, including a follow-up consultation with a specialist.
Colorectal cancer screening rates are lower in Black and underserved communities, which means people in these areas are sometimes diagnosed later when the disease is harder to treat. This study aims to reduce that gap by making screening easier, free, and supported by trained patient navigators.

You would receive a free FIT screening test kit to use at home, collect your own sample, and mail it to Mayo Clinic's lab for processing. You'll also complete a short questionnaire about your colorectal cancer screening history and healthcare. After your results are ready, you'll receive them through Mayo Clinic nursing support. If your test is positive, a patient navigator will call to discuss next steps and help you schedule a consultation with a gastroenterologist. You'll also receive follow-up check-ins at 2 and 4 weeks to make sure you're getting the care you need.
