Key Points Question Could the amenability index be extended to account for differences in breast and colorectal cancer screening adherence among women residing in urban vs rural communities in the United States? Findings In a cross-sectional study of 2897 women from 11 US states, lower colorectal cancer screening adherence was found among rural-dwelling women compared with urban-dwelling women, but the prevalence of screening adherence for breast cancer was similar among women residing in urban and rural communities. Meaning Rural colorectal cancer screening disparities could be explained by slower diffusion of colorectal cancer screening and present significant preventable public health challenges, which could be attenuated through effective interventions to increase diffusion of screening modalities.
