Is Travel Time to Colonoscopy Associated With Late‐Stage Colorectal Cancer Among Medicare Beneficiaries in Iowa
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening has been shown to decrease the incidence of late-stage colorectal cancer, yet a substantial proportion of Americans do not receive screening. Those in rural areas may face barriers to colonoscopy services based on travel time, and previous studies have demonstrated lower screening among rural residents. Our purpose was to assess factors associated with late-stage CRC, and specifically to determine if …
System Strategies for Colorectal Cancer Screening at Federally Qualified Health Centers
Objectives. We assessed the protocols and system processes for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening at federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) in 4 midwestern states. Methods. We identified 49 FQHCs in 4 states. In January 2013, we mailed their medical directors a 49-item questionnaire about policies on CRC screening, use of electronic medical records, types of CRC screening recommended, clinic tracking systems, referrals for colonoscopy, and bar…
Evaluation of a Home‐Based Colorectal Cancer Screening Intervention in a Rural State
PURPOSE: Distance from health care facilities can be a barrier to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, especially for colonoscopy. Alternatively, an improved at-home stool-based screening tool, the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), requires only a single sample and has a better sensitivity-specificity balance compared to traditional guaiac fecal occult blood tests. Our objective was to determine if FITs mailed to asymptomatic, average-risk patients …
Primary Care Clinicians’ Perspectives on Management of Skin and Soft Tissue Infections
UNLABELLED: An estimated 95,000 people developed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections during 2005 of which 14% were community-associated and 85% were hospital or other health setting associated, and 19,000 Americans died from these infections that year. PURPOSE: To explore health care providers' perspectives on management of skin and soft tissue infections to gain a better understanding of the problems faced by busy provi…
Perceptions of Iowa Family Physicians Regarding Colorectal Cancer Screening
BACKGROUND: Fewer than half of Americans have been screened for colorectal cancer (CRC), a largely preventable disease. METHODS: All physician members (n = 1030) of the Iowa Academy of Family Physicians were mailed a 3-page investigator-developed survey about their attitudes, barriers, and practices regarding CRC screening. RESULTS: The usable response rate was 29%. Forty-three percent practiced in rural settings. Ninety-five percent felt that th…
