First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a method called NPT-PLA to help 20 primary care clinics better use a decision-making tool that encourages colorectal cancer screening. About 2,200 patients and staff will take part. The goal is to see if this approach leads to more screening orders and completions compared to usual quality improvement efforts.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Participatory Learning in Action (PLA) combined with Normalization Process Theory (NPT)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show how to effectively implement a colorectal cancer screening tool in real-world clinics, potentially increasing screening rates.

What could go wrong

This is an implementation study, not a test of a new treatment. It focuses on process and may not directly improve health outcomes. Results may vary across clinics.
