Study Summary
This study will test the effectiveness of an outreach strategy to increase colorectal cancer screening in African Americans. The investigators will recruit 250 African Americans ages 45-64 years who are not up-to-date with colorectal cancer screening or have never been screened, with the goal to evaluate screening knowledge, behavior, and intervention effects on colorectal cancer screening outcomes. Participants will be randomly assigned to the TUNE-UP intervention or a control group. The TUNE-UP intervention arm will utilize a community health advisor to encourage return of stool blood testing kits through cell phone outreach. The control group will receive educational materials about colorectal cancer screening plus a resource list but no community health advisor counseling support or cellphone / text contact. The primary study outcome is receipt of colorectal cancer screening (colonoscopy or Fecal Immunochemical Test) following the intervention. The secondary outcomes will include colorectal cancer screening knowledge, self-efficacy (confidence to receive colorectal cancer screening), intention to screen, and follow-up in the case of an abnormal test result. The research objective is to test the community health advisor intervention effectiveness for promoting stool blood testing as a preferred screening test in an under-screened African American population.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04304001
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04304001 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 115 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Florida A&M University, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Colorectal Cancer Screening appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Usual care is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04304001 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Florida. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
