Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of different phone reminder approaches for annual mailed fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) in promoting colorectal cancer screening among patients aged 50-75.
- Patients who failed to return the FIT were randomized to receive either automated reminders or a mix of automated and live reminders, with return rates measured over six months.
- Results showed no significant difference in return rates between the two reminder methods overall, but Spanish-speaking patients had higher completion rates with automated reminders compared to the mixed approach, highlighting the importance of tailoring outreach efforts.
