First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two at-home colorectal cancer screening tests—FIT and Cologuard—in over 5,000 patients at community health centers. Participants were mailed a test kit and asked to complete it at home. The goal was to see which test had higher completion rates and was more practical for these clinics. Results will help improve screening equity in diverse communities.
