Screening for colorectal neoplasia: Physicians' adherence to complete diagnostic evaluation
This prospective study was done in a health maintenance organization colorectal cancer screening program to determine whether 166 persons found to have abnormal fecal occult blood test results typically underwent complete diagnostic evaluation (i.e., either colonoscopy or barium enema x-ray plus flexible sigmoidoscopy). Chart audit data show that 137 (82%) subjects contacted a physician to discuss follow-up. A complete diagnostic evaluation was r…
Adherence to Continuous Screening for Colorectal Neoplasia

When continuous screening is made available only to individuals who had tested previously, population member re…
Behavioral Interventions to Increase Adherence in Colorectal Cancer Screening
This investigation was a randomized controlled trial to determine the impact of health education interventions on the return of mailed fecal occult blood (FOB) tests (FOBT adherence) in a colorectal cancer screening program.

Subjects were randomly assigned to a "usual care" Con…
