Summary

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are a key source of care for racially and ethnically minoritized populations, yet colorectal cancer screening rates are 30 percentage points lower than in the general US population. In this secondary analysis, a mailed fecal immunochemical test (FIT) outreach program plus navigation to colonoscopy after abnormal results improved screening similarly across racial and ethnic groups compared to usual care. The findings suggest such organized outreach could raise screening rates without widening disparities, an important consideration for FQHCs.
