Approaches to address common barriers to colorectal cancer screening in rural communities of the CDC’s colorectal cancer control program
Through discussions, questionnaires, and focus groups with participants, we found that many of the approaches to overcoming barriers in rural areas focused on aiding patients in accessing screening and automating procedures to mitigate the impacts of staff and provider turnover. Further evaluation can determine effective, sustainable and cost-effective approaches.
