The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to determine feasibility and explore whetherfinancial incentives paid to primary care patients for completing colorectal cancerscreening increase completion of colorectal cancer screening. The main questions it aimsto answer are: - Do patient financial incentives for completing colorectal cancer screening increase screening completion? - Does a patient financial incentive for colorectal cancer screening offered alongside patient financial incentives for COVID-19 and flu shots increase completion of those shots?Participants who are due for colorectal cancer screening will receive telephone outreachfrom primary care staff who will offer a stool-based colorectal cancer screening.Participants will be randomly assigned to either Group 1 or Group 2. Group 1 participantswill be offered financial incentives for completing COVID-19 and flu shots within 2months of enrollment. Group 2 participants will be offered financial incentives forcompleting a COVID-19 shot, a flu shot, and colorectal cancer screening within 2 monthsof enrollment.Researchers will compare to see if completion of a COVID-19 shot, a flu shot, andcolorectal cancer screening is different between the two groups.
