Can a simple text boost cancer screening rates?

NCT ID NCT06632054

Summary

This study tested whether sending text message reminders helps more people complete their at-home colon cancer screening test (called a FIT kit) compared to the usual phone call reminders. Researchers enrolled over 1,200 adult patients from NYU family health clinics. They measured how many people completed their test within 3 weeks after receiving either a text or a phone call reminder.
