Abstract
The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends annual fecal immunochemical test (FIT) as one of the colorectal cancer (CRC) screening tests.1 Adherence to yearly FIT is crucial to programmatic success.2 However, longitudinal adherence is low and strategies to improve persistent adherence are needed.3 We evaluated the effectiveness of interactive telephone calls vs automated short message service (SMS) on improving adherence to FIT screening compared with usual care.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
