Brief Summary:
Colorectal cancer CRC is one of the leading causes of death in Croatia An average of 3600 cases are diagnosed and an average of 2100 people die from the disease every year Since 2007 Croatia has invited every man and woman aged 50-74 to participate in the home testing screening programme every two years Currently only around 36 of the invited request the test-kit and 25 complete the home testing procedure far below the target of 40-60
The Croatian Institute of Public Health with technical support from World Health Organization WHO Regional Office for Europe is undertaking a mixed-methods research study with the aim to increase the completion of colorectal cancer home testing and improve our knowledge of the barriers and drivers to do so The study has a quantitative and a qualitative component
1 Quantitative testing the introduction of a reminder letter to encourage people to respond to the initial invite to participate in the CRC home test program and test which elements of a reminder letter improve response rates
The quantitative component consists of a four-arm reminder letter randomized controlled trial RCT comparing no letter standard letter behaviorally informed letter and behaviorally informed letter sent with a home testing kit to investigate the effectiveness of reminders in increasing uptake of home-testing for colorectal cancer Recruitment and data collection for the reminder letter trial will be conducted utilizing the routine screening process and routinely collected screening data
2 Qualitative conducting in-depth interviews with people from the target population who did or did not respond to the CRC invite letter and reminder to better understand the barriers and drivers to participation
The qualitative component consists of 24 in-depth interviews IDIs conducted with members of the target population to identify barriers and drivers to completing colorectal cancer screening home-testing Data collection for IDIs will be face-to-face using discussion guides and will be audio recorded The audio-recordings will then be analyzed using a rapid analysis approach based on by the modified Capability-Opportunity-Motivation-Behavior COM-B framework
