Summary

This study tests a digital program (mPATH-Cloud) that sends patients a text or letter inviting them to a website. On the site, they watch a short video about colorectal cancer screening options and can choose a stool test or colonoscopy. The goal is to see if this approach helps more people complete screening compared to usual care. About 1,000 patients from a community health center in North Carolina are taking part.
