Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Use of interactive voice response to improve colorectal cancer screening.
Only 63% of the US population aged 50-75 years is adherent with recommended colorectal cancer (CRC) screening guidelines. Efforts are needed to increase screening for CRC. ⋯ Our analysis provides "real-world" evidence that IVR is effective when delivered by a commercial health plan, and may be a useful tool for increasing adherence to screening guidelines among patients outside an integrated care practice.
