- Patient navigation and mailed FIT outreach are the most effective interventions for increasing colorectal cancer screening uptake.
- Educational multimedia and reminder-only interventions show modest effects, while choice-based and colonoscopy outreach are not significantly better than usual care.
- In low baseline uptake settings (<30%), mailed FIT outreach is especially effective, whereas educational multimedia performs better in higher uptake populations and recent studies.
- The analysis included 76 randomized trials, with most evidence rated moderate to low certainty.
