Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Multilevel Action Toward Colorectal Cancer and Hepatitis C Education and Screening (MATCHES)

The MATCHES intervention includes three patient-level intervention strategies that will be rolled out in two waves. Patient-level strategies are: 1) a combined education booklet with information about CRC/CRC screening and HCV infections/liver cancer/HCV screening in English or Spanish, 2) access to free stool-based CRC screening, and 3) access to free HCV antibody testing.

Interventions

MATCHES

Participants will be asked to complete a survey with specific topics including Hepatitis C (HCV) and Colorectal (CRC) knowledge and health beliefs, screening intentions and demographic characteristics.

Participants will be provided with education intervention materials (for example, a booklet) either in-person or via mail, access to free stool-based CRC screening, and access to free HCV screening.

Approximately 1-2 weeks after receiving the education materials, participants will be asked to complete a post-intervention survey about the same specific topics (for example, HCV and CRC knowledge, HCV and CRC health beliefs, HCV and CRC screening intentions, healthcare experiences, perceptions of the educational materials) over the phone with a trained study staff.

Participants with a positive HCV screening and/or CRC screening result will be navigated to follow-up care as needed.

Primary outcome measure

  • Screening Uptake for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and Colorectal Cancer (CRC) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Months ]
