Summary

This study looked at whether offering a blood-based screening test could encourage people who had previously avoided colonoscopy or stool tests to get screened for colorectal cancer. Researchers enrolled 297 adults aged 45-75 who had not completed a recommended screening. The goal was to see if a less invasive blood test would improve screening rates, especially in underserved communities.
