Implementing Public Health Modules as an Approach to Improve Knowledge and Attitudes of Medical Students
Neugut and Lebwohl Respond
Woolf et al., in response to our recent editorial,1 argue that alternatives to screening colonoscopy are necessary to accommodate diverse patient preferences and may be crucial in settings where colonoscopy capacity is limited. We agree with both assertions. However, in regions with adequate capacity, we maintain that screening should be framed in such a way that colonoscopy is presented as the preferred test, though not the only test available. …
Screening for Colorectal Cancer
The authors express their opinion regarding reports indicating that almost half of adults over 50 years old in the U.S. have been screened for colorectal cancer. They note the public health benefits of the increase in screening, explaining that death rates due to colorectal cancer have declined. They discuss the need for more screening options and suggest offering patients a hierarchy of screening options.
