Testing the effectiveness of a general practice intervention to improve uptake of colorectal cancer screening: a randomised controlled trial.

Implications for public health: General practice interventions could serve as an important adjunct to the Australian National Bowel Cancer Screening Program to boost plateauing screening rates.
