UCLA partnered with Northeast Valley Health Corporation (NEVHC) to assess repeat FIT rates and factors that contribute to repeat FIT over a 5-year follow-up period. We performed a retrospective cohort study among NEVHC patients who completed a FIT test in 2013 and examined CRC screening completion over the subsequent 5 years (2014-2018). The study was conducted in eight comprehensive primary care sites at NEVHC.
