This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The MATCHES study is testing whether providing patients with educational booklets, free stool-based colorectal cancer screening, and free hepatitis C antibody testing can help more people get screened for these two serious health conditions. The study will give you written information in English or Spanish about why screening matters, and then offer you the chance to do the screening tests at no cost.
Many people don't get screened for colorectal cancer and hepatitis C because they lack information, access to testing, or resources. This study aims to see if combining education with free, easy-to-use screening tests can help catch these diseases earlier, when treatment is most effective.
