A Primary Care Multilevel mHealth Colorectal Cancer Screening (mCRC) Intervention
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a multilevel mHealth intervention (mCRC)
can increase the percentage of patients who receive colorectal cancer screening. The mCRC
intervention will include a tablet-based patient education program, clinic protocols to
facilitate the ordering of CRC screening tests, and electronic messaging with patients to
promote screening. The investigators hypothesize that participants randomized to mCRC will be
more likely to complete screening compared with those randomized to the control arm of the
study. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize mCRC will increase several intermediate
outcomes (such as knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and test ordering) which will predict
completion of screening. Lastly, the investigators hypothesize the mCRC intervention will add
little to the overall cost of screening.
