Experimental group

Description:

The Community Health Educator (CHE) will provide online, phone or in-person colorectal cancer (CRC) early detection, prevention, and screening education to increase knowledge of CRC and the importance of screening. These sessions will be conducted in small in-person sessions, virtually within a group, virtually via a self-paced/self-directed online learning module, or one-on-one via phone. Additionally, the CHE will provide information regarding FIT kit and colonoscopy screening and the screening process for attendees. The CHE and research assistant will be prepared to provide access to screening resources and services through participants' existing coverage. Those participants who do not have a primary care provider will be provided information on obtaining FIT kits through the mechanisms of the Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and/or a colonoscopy through the cancer center on a case by case basis.
