“Mailed FIT is an excellent complement to usual care screening services,” said paper coauthor Alison Brenner, PhD, MPH, deputy director of the UNC Lineberger Carolina Cancer Screening Initiative and associate professor at UNC School of Medicine. “It reaches a lot of patients who, for whatever reason, aren't getting screened in usual care and significantly increases screening rates. A centralized approach, like the SCORE trial demonstrated, can relieve both the under-resourced FQHCs as well as the over-packed agenda of primary care by taking care of this preventive service outside of the clinic visit.”
