ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryLikelihood of Any Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening (for Study-eligible Patients)Primary outcome at 6 months following CCO eligible patient list pull date,
Adjusted 6-month any CRC screening for enrollees in clinic units. These values are predicted estimates rather than crude number \[%\] generated using marginal standardization and accounting for clustering and covariates (i.e., sex, age, and Medicaid health plan). Claims and vendor data were used to determine whether or not the patient completed CRC screening (i.e., fecal testing, FIT-DNA, sigmoidoscopy, CT colonography, or colonoscopy). To assess effectiveness of CRC screening completion, we used the generalized form of hierarchical linear model (binomial distribution with logit link) to account for clustering of patients within clinics and the assignment to arm at the clinic level.
SecondaryCompletion of CRC ScreeningUp to 12 months
Completed CRC screening at 12 months. Claims and vendor data were used to determine whether or not the patient completed CRC screening (i.e., fecal testing, FIT-DNA, sigmoidoscopy, CT colonography, or colonoscopy).
SecondaryRate of CRC Screening Among the Intervention-eligible Population6 months
In the intervention clinics only, the list of patients eligible for screening was scrubbed by clinics. This percent is the N completed CRC screening out of the N included in intervention outreach after clinics scrubbed the list of eligible patients.
SecondaryTime to Screening From Study-eligible Patient List PullUp to 12 monthsDays from study-eligible patient list pull to abnormal FIT result. Number of days at individual level.
SecondaryAbnormal FIT Results6 monthsNumber of participants with abnormal FIT Results
SecondaryPatient Navigation Trainings (Intervention Group)Up to 12 monthsClinic participation (i.e., attendance) in patient navigation training, Year 1 clinical trial
SecondaryPatient Navigation Completed (Intervention Group)Up to 12 monthsPatient navigation implemented = one or more live phone contact with the patient (binary at the individual level).
SecondaryFollow-up Colonoscopy CompletionUp to 12 monthsThe percentage of patients with abnormal FIT who completed follow-up colonoscopy within 12 months
SecondaryTime to Colonoscopy From Abnormal FIT ResultUp to 12 monthsDays from abnormal FIT result to completion of follow-up colonoscopy. Number of days at the individual level.
SecondaryAdenomas or Cancers DetectedUp to 12 monthsWhether or not eligible patient had an adenoma or cancer detected. Binary at individual level.
