It included 2474 participants who were overdue for CCS.Primary Outcomes:Participation Rates: Among those who received a telephone reminder and mailed self-collection, 41.1% participated in screening, compared to 17.4% who received a telephone reminder alone. When patient navigation was added to mailed self-collection, participation increased to 46.6%.Effectiveness: Self-collection kits significantly improved participation, with a relative participation of 2.36 times higher than telephone reminders alone. Adding patient navigation further modestly increased participation to 2.68 times higher.
