Colonoscopy Outreach for Rural Communities Aim 2
Sponsor: University of Washington
Summary
This study aims to test the effectiveness of a remotely-delivered patient navigation program for increasing colonoscopy completion for colorectal cancer screening, among rural populations. The study will partner with geographically disparate primary care organizations to recruit patients aged 45-75 to the study. The patient navigation program will be delivered through a community organization. This project is critical in advancing our knowledge of the effectiveness of patient navigation for increasing colonoscopy in this patient population as well as for understanding factors that can support long term implementation and sustainability of effective interventions.

Patient Navigation
Patients will receive navigation from a trained lay navigator at a community-based nonprofit organization that supports access to high quality healthcare. The patient navigator will work with patients to schedule their colonoscopy and identify, explore, and overcome barriers. They will educate patients about the colonoscopy procedure and preparation, provide resources, and coach and motivate patients.
