Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In order to encourage the population at risk to participate in colorectal cancer screening, this clustered trial intends to determine the efficacy of specific messages(Nudge), single FIT testing, and the primary care physician's clinical judgment on referral to colonoscopy. It primarily seeks to provide answers to the following questions: How effective is the modified integrated CRC screening system (MICRCSS) for individuals with average colorectal cancer risk? based on the percentage of individuals who had CRC screening, registered for the follow-up, and were discovered to have precancerous CRC issues a year after the program's start, as contrasted to individuals receiving standard medical care? All public government entities in the Hail region will be contacted with invitations to participate in the study (outreach). the organization
