Peer power: can friends help close the colon cancer screening gap?

NCT ID NCT05793593

Ongoing Knowledge-focused Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether training Black men who have already completed a colon cancer screening test (FIT) can help encourage three of their peers to also get screened. The goal is to see if this peer outreach approach increases screening rates in the Black community, which has higher colon cancer rates but lower screening rates. About 80 participants will be trained and then followed to see how many of their friends and family complete the FIT test.
