Leveraging Multi‑Sectoral Partnership for Colorectal Cancer Education and Screening in the African American Community: A Protocol and Preliminary Results
Colorectal cancer (CRC) awareness and screening rates are still low in African Americans (AAs), especially for those who do not have regular access to health care. We established a multi-sector community partnership between academia, health system, cancer advocacy, and local county treasurer’s office (CTO), to test a pilot CRC screening intervention using a tailored educational brochure and fecal immunochemical test (FIT).or community-based CRC screening intervention using stool-based test, the direct provision of FIT kits with educational brochure outperforms the other strategies.
