Summary:
The Black community has higher rates of colorectal cancer and lower rates of colorectal
cancer screenings than whites. Getting screened through FIT testing may help catch
colorectal cancer earlier, when it is easier to treat. MSK has created a program to help
people who have been FIT tested to also help their peers (family, friends, and
colleagues) in their community get FIT tested. The researchers think that training people
on peer outreach, such as telling people in your social network about FIT testing and how
to get it, may increase the rate of colorectal cancer screening. The purpose of this
study is to see if training people on peer outreach increases the number of people who
get screened for colorectal cancer through FIT testing.
