NCT ID NCT05793593
First seen Apr 12, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at whether training Black men who have already completed a colon cancer screening test (FIT) can encourage three of their friends or family members to also get tested. 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 men will take part.
