"Finding the right FIT": rural patient preferences for fecal immunochemical test (FIT) characteristics.
This community-led study was conducted to assess patient preferences for fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) characteristics and to use study findings in concert with clinical effectiveness data to inform regional FIT selection. The authors concluded that FIT characteristics influenced patient's perceptions of test acceptability and feasibility and indicated that health system leaders, payers, and clinicians should select FITs that are both clinically effective and incorporate patient preferred test characteristics.
