Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Screening Completers and Non-Completers at an Urban Primary Care Practice

Background Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women in the United States. In an urban multi-clinic primary care practice, we want to conduct interventions to target non-completers of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. We will evaluate the percentage of patients who are up to date on their CRC screening and compare characteristics between completers and non-completers to design interventions that engage non-completers in preventive health screening.
