Key result
Interventions boost CRC screening ~20% vs control in US immigrants, driven by culturally tailored patient navigation.
Why the study?
Colorectal cancer screening rates are lower among US immigrants, but literature evaluating interventions to increase their screening engagement had not been systematically synthesized.
Do targeted interventions increase colorectal cancer screening completion among immigrants in the United States?
