The Participatory Research to Advance Colon Cancer Prevention (PROMPT) study seeks to raise rates of colon cancer screening in safety-net primary care practices and decrease screening disparities in priority populations (minority racial/ethnic and low income individuals). PROMPT is a partnership between the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research (CHR), Oregon Health & Sciences University (OHSU), and AltaMed Health Services.
The study will develop and use personalized alert and reminder prompts for a direct-mail fecal immunochemical test (FIT) program in two phases. In Phase 1, we will develop personalized messages using a community-based participatory research process that involves working with patients and providers called boot camp translation. We will test the messages among patients in a pilot study at two AltaMed clinics. In Phase 2, we will spread the program to other AltaMed clinics.
