The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of patient navigation on colonoscopy completion rates in a population screened for colorectal cancer. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: Are colonoscopy completion rates in colorectal cancer screening increased in navigated (intervention arm) compared with non-navigated (control arm) participants? Is mental well-being, as measured by HADs and GHQ12 scores, better in the intervention arm compared with the control arm? Participants in the intervention arm will receive: * standard clinic instructions for the colonoscopy * phone calls from the patient navigator to discuss the purpose, preparation, and additional information regarding the colonoscopy procedure * a webpage QR code consist of information on visual image on colonoscopy preparation and procedures, layout and map guidance to navigate in the hospital * a direct line for phone calls to patient navigators for further guidance on overcoming barriers Participants in the control arm will only receive: * standard clinic instructions for the colonoscopy * one phone call from the patient navigator to discuss the colonoscopy procedure
