Barriers and Facilitators of Colorectal Cancer Screening in a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)

Conclusion:
In this study, the most common perceived barriers to return of screening fecal test kits were forgetfulness and lack of motivation. The most common perceived facilitators were live call reminders and postage-paid return envelopes. Understanding barriers and facilitators to FITs may be necessary to enhance cancer screening rates in underserved patient populations.
