Read our Colorectal Cancer research guide →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 offering a simple, free colon cancer screening test at the Department of Motor Vehicles—combined with reminders and support—can help more African Americans get screened for colorectal cancer. You would receive a Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) kit, which is a non-invasive way to check for signs of cancer by testing a stool sample at home. Some participants will also see targeted health information ads on social media to see if that helps more people complete the screening.
African Americans face much higher rates of colon cancer and are more likely to die from it than other groups, largely because of barriers to accessing screening and quality healthcare. This study aims to remove those barriers by bringing the screening directly to people during a visit they're already making, and by providing free kits, clear instructions, and follow-up support.

You would be recruited during a visit to the DMV and asked to complete a brief survey about your health and screening history. You would then receive a free FIT kit with simple instructions for collecting a sample at home, along with a culturally tailored educational brochure. After you mail the kit back in a prepaid envelope, you'll get your results within 2–3 weeks. The study team will send you reminder texts and calls, and if your result is positive or you need help finding a doctor or paying for follow-up care, they'll help coordinate that support for you.
