Summary

This study tests a digital toolkit called eNav, which includes a website and text message reminders, to help people aged 45–75 get screened for colorectal cancer. The toolkit provides information, motivation, and easy ways to request a screening test. Researchers will compare screening rates between those who use eNav and those who receive standard care at federally qualified health centers.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
digital toolkit (website and text messaging support)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, scalable way to increase colorectal cancer screening rates in underserved communities.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study focused on feasibility and uptake, not a direct test of cancer prevention. Results may not apply to other settings or populations.
