Dispatch of the screening test along the invitation letter to the national colorectal cancer screening program
The individuals eligible for the colorectal cancer screening program will receive at home an invitation letter to participate to the program along with a FIT test. The follow-up will be similar to the standard of care, i.e. reminder letters at 5 and 10 months if there is no participation, and reminders if no coloscopy after a positive FIT test
Sending of a prior notification to the new entrants of the national program
Dispatch of a notification, one month prior the dispatch of the screening test along the invitation letter. This intervention is among the new entrants to the national program
