Arms

  • Arm: Patients and staff from one community health center named Codman Square Health Center.
    This project builds on an existing partnership with Codman Square Health Center (CSHC). CSCHC is located in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston which has among the highest mortality rates from colorectal cancer in the city. Codman Square Health Center serves a patient population that is 86% Black and 87% income at or below the federal poverty limit, thus requiring an equity-driven approach. Patients recruited will be aged 45-54 and staff will be over aged 18 who work at CSHC and that are involved in CRC screening. There will be no clinical intervention as this is an implementation study to identify system-level determinants of colorectal cancer screening.

Primary Outcome Measure

Measurement of acceptability and feasibility of implementation strategies [ Time Frame: From planning to testing and evaluation and assessment of outcomes will be a total of 12 months ]
