Manuscript summaries
ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø performed a comprehensive evaluation of the Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP). The evaluation examined how evidence-based interventions (strategies that have been shown to increase colorectal cancer screening) were used, changes in clinic-level colorectal cancer screening rates over time, and the cost-effectiveness of some interventions.
- Economic Evaluation of Interventions to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening: A series of research briefs examined the effectiveness of interventions that four CRCCP recipients used to increase colorectal cancer screening.
- Integrated Approaches to Delivering Cancer Screenings to Address Disparities: CRCCP focuses on increasing colorectal cancer screening in populations that have traditionally been medically underserved. To guide CRCCP recipients, ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø scientists wrote three papers describing assessments of cancer screening approaches that CRCCP recipients used.
- Economic Assessment of Patient Navigation to Improve Colonoscopy Completion: The University of Chicago Medical Center received CRCCP funds to start an onsite non-nurse facilitated patient navigation program.
- Role of an Implementation Economics Analysis: This study describes how economic evaluations of approaches to increase colorectal cancer screening can improve decision making and program implementation.
