Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study focuses exclusively on American Indian individuals within their communities to enhance health equity and address a critical tribal health priority. American Indian populations experience some of the highest colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality rates in the nation. By conducting research within these communities, this study aims to improve early detection, prevention, and treatment strategies tailored to their specific needs. The findings will help develop targeted interventions to reduce CRC disparities and improve health outcomes for American Indian individuals.
