standard reminder system to have a repeat screening test for colo-rectal cancer.

program) will be eligible for study participation. The objective is to test a social
media-based intervention designed to promote annual repeat colo-rectal cancer screening using
the Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) among person who have taken the FIT test once before. 220

care reminder for repeat testing one month before the annual test is due). The dependent
variable will be whether volunteers requested and retuned a FIT kit with 60 days of the
annual due date (one year from their initial screening).
