Key Points
Question
Does the offering of choice between colonoscopy and fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) change participation in screening outreach?
Findings
In this 3-arm pragmatic randomized clinical trial of 438 patients, there was no statistically significant increase in screening when offering the choice of FIT compared with colonoscopy only, but fewer patients selected colonoscopy in the choice arms.
Meaning
Offering the choice of FIT in a colonoscopy outreach program did not substantially increase screening participation, but the framing of choice altered patient decision making.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
