Summary
Alaska Native men have the highest rates of colorectal cancer incidence and mortality in the US. Screening can prevent disease and improve survival. A previous study tested text messages to increase colorectal cancer screening in Alaska Native patients of the Southcentral Foundation healthcare system in Anchorage, Alaska. The intervention improved screening by 50% in women, but it had no effect in men. The current study aimed to culturally tailor the intervention for Alaska Native Men, and to test it with a randomized controlled trial among patients at the Southcentral Foundation.
