Primary Care Providers are Vital to
Increasing Colorectal Cancer Screening

 There was significant improvement in how often primary care providers reported discussing more than one test option for Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening with their asymptomatic, average-risk patient since 2016.

Offering a choice between recommended CRC screening tests increases the chances that patients will complete screening. See the full results of our primary care provider survey on CRC screening knowledge and attitudes here:
