This study tests whether text message reminders help patients complete preventive health screenings (like mammograms or blood tests) before their primary care visits. You'll receive texts about tests you may be overdue for, and researchers will track whether this improves how many people complete their recommended care.
This study uses community health worker support by phone to help people at higher risk stay on top of recommended screening. It may help reduce colorectal cancer risk and also improve heart health.
This study tests whether reminder text messages help people complete colorectal cancer screening. You would receive SMS messages encouraging you to schedule a screening test if you haven't done so after an initial invitation.
This study tests whether text message reminders can help more people complete their colorectal cancer screening. If you're due for a stool-based test, you may get text nudges to help you stay on track.
This study tests ways to remind people to do a simple at-home stool test (called FIT) to check for early signs of colon cancer. If you're due for screening, you might get a mailed kit and reminders to help you stay healthy.
This study tests whether a smart text message reminder (an 'AI nudge') can help more people schedule and complete a colonoscopy. If you're due for a colonoscopy after a positive stool test, you might get reminders or extra support to make sure you go through with the screening.
