NCT05793593
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.
NCT07351019
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Golytely or SUPREP bowel preparation works more effectively in bowel cleansing for colorectal cancer screening with colonoscopy in patients with diabetes. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Is there a significant difference in bowel prep cleanse between Golytely and SUPREP in patients with diabetes based on the Boston Bowel Prep Score (BBPS) as assessed by blinded, skilled endoscopists? 2. Is there a significant difference in patients' tolerance between the bowel preparations as assessed by the validated Mayo Bowel Prep Tolerability Form (MBPTF)? Participants will: * Be randomized to take either Golytely or SUPREP bowel preparation prior to their colonoscopy * Complete the MBPTF on the procedure date prior to the scheduled colonoscopy * Undergo a standardized screening colonoscopy during which time a blinded endoscopist will document the participant's BBPS The research team hypothesizes that SUPREP will have a significant difference in tolerability (based on MBPTF), while exhibiting no difference in bowel cleanse (based on BBPS) in the diabetic patient population.
NCT07342998
The aim of this observational study is to investigate whether computed tomography can be used as an alternative to colonoscopy in colon cancer screening. The main question the study aims to answer is: Can colon cancer screening be performed as effectively with computed tomography as with colonoscopy? Participants in the colon cancer screening group will be divided into two groups: those who underwent colonoscopy and those who underwent computed tomography. The screening effectiveness of the two methods will be compared.
NCT04651504
Less than half of all positive fecal immunochemical testing (FIT)s are followed-up by colonoscopy, thus limiting the full potential of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening to reduce mortality. Given the need for coordination in order to achieve high rates of follow-up, multilevel approaches are needed. Such approaches could be particularly beneficial in communities and populations that experience cancer disparities and have fewer specialty providers, but most data focuses on large systems or urban areas. The academic-community health system collaboration is uniquely poised to address this research and service gap. The persistent poverty and health disparities in rural Southern Illinois set the stage for truly impactful research. The investigators' approach will serve as a model for multilevel interventions in rural settings, inform future work addressing other health disparities, and fill a gap in rigorous trials of CRC screening follow-up in rural areas.

NCT04491565
The investigators aimed to determine whether an interactive, online educational platform could improve procedure show rates and bowel preparation scores in an outpatient population presenting for routine colonoscopy.
NCT02665741
The goal of this study is to compare two FDA approved distal colonoscope attachment devices, in order to identify which device can increase adenoma detection rate the most without increasing procedure time or risk.
NCT01648504
The investigators will attempt to improve the patient experience before colonoscopy. The investigators will provide an in-office ipad video series and an electronic web guide to help patients learn all the best ways to prepare for colonoscopy. The investigators will then follow the patients who receive this eGuide to colonoscopy and observe whether or not they enjoyed the additional access to information from their providers, and will monitor whether or not they were better prepared for their colonoscopy.
