First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests whether sending text message reminders can increase colorectal cancer screening among homeless adults aged 45-75 who are not up to date on screening. About 588 participants from shelter clinics in New York City will be randomly assigned to receive SMS navigation or usual care. The goal is to see if simple phone texts can help more people complete a colonoscopy or stool test, potentially catching cancer early.
