NCT ID NCT04464668
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program called CARES-REACH that trains healthcare providers and uses electronic medical record tools to increase colorectal cancer screening rates in rural clinics. Researchers are working with 49 staff and providers from two healthcare systems. The goal is to see if these tools help more patients complete fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) for cancer screening.
