This project will evaluate the effectiveness of screening fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) versus screening colonoscopy in reducing the risk of death from colorectal cancer in average risk men and women who receive their care in community settings. We will also develop new statistical methods to account for levels of adherence to recommended screening intervals when comparing tests.
