Read our Colorectal Neoplasms 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 a simple text message reminder can help more people remember to get colorectal cancer screening. Researchers are comparing two groups: one that receives only the standard invitation letter, and another that also gets a text message reminder if they haven't scheduled their screening within 5 weeks. The goal is to see if this easy, low-cost reminder helps more people get screened for colorectal cancer early.
Colorectal cancer is easier to treat and prevent when caught early, but many people don't show up for screening even when invited. This study wants to find out if a friendly text message reminder can be an effective and affordable way to encourage more people to participate in cancer screening programs.

If you're in the control group, you'll receive a standard invitation letter inviting you to screening, and if you don't respond, a postal reminder letter 6 weeks later. If you're in the text message group, you'll receive the same invitation letter, but if you haven't scheduled your screening by week 5, you'll get a text message reminder, followed by a postal reminder letter if needed. Either way, your participation simply means showing up for your colorectal cancer screening appointment — researchers will track whether you participate and how quickly you respond.
