“Hot off the press!
Our review on ‘Leveraging Patient Education to Amplify Colorectal Cancer Screening in the United States: Strategies and Implications’ in AACE journal (Journal of Cancer Education).
We elucidate the correlation between patient awareness/knowledge and screening rates in the United States, highlighting the pivotal role of education in mitigating these deficiencies.
Different educational models, including online resources, mailed information, community programs, direct provider-based interventions, and narratives, are explored in terms of their effectiveness and limitations.
We also offer a blueprint for primary care providers (PCPs) that highlights the importance of tailored education, barrier identification, and utilization of available resources to enhance CRC screening uptake.
Congrats to Dr Baskar (PGY2 IM The Brooklyn Hospital Center) and Dr Schoeneich (PGY2 IM Internal Medicine at Iowa) for leading this effort.”
