Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a behavioral nudge principle known as social norm driver can be implemented to improve fecal immunochemical test (FIT) completion rates for patients' age 45-75 years old due for colorectal cancer screening at Bellevue Hospital Medicine Ambulatory Care Clinic. The study's endpoints include FIT screening completion rate and timeliness. Secondary analysis will look at demographic information such as age group, gender, prior screening, number of prior visits at the clinic.
