About this study

This project is designed to implement and rigorously evaluate a cancer screening quality improvement project within a practice serving underserved patients. The project involves use of a patient registry coupled with patient reminders,recall and outreach.All unscreened patients will receive the benefit of this intervention, though some sooner than others for the purpose of evaluation.

Treatment and study plan

Early Intervention

Behavioral

At the point of randomization the early group will receive increasingly intensive reminders to complete specific cancer screening tests.

Delayed Intervention

Behavioral

One year from the point of randomization patients will begin to receive increasingly intensive reminders to complete specific cancer screening tests.

Primary outcomes
