This podcast by the National Center for Health in Public Housing directly focuses on various aspects of public health and its impact on public housing residents.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening all adults ages 45 to 75 years for colorectal cancer. The USPSTF notes that the risks and benefits of different types of screening tests vary. Similarly, The American Cancer Society recommends that people at average risk of colorectal cancer start regular screening at age 45. For adults ages 76 to 85 years, the USPSTF and the American Cancer Society recommend individualizing the decision to screen for colorectal cancer based on a person’s overall health, history of screening, and preferences.
According to Healthy People 2030, in 2021, the most recent year for which colorectal cancer data is available, 58.7% of adults aged 45-75 years received a colorectal cancer screening. The same HHS initiative looks to increase the proportion of adults who receive a colorectal cancer screening to 68.3% by 2030. Despite efforts, in 2023 the percentage of patients 45-75 years of age who had appropriate colorectal cancer screening in health center settings was 41.10%.
This NCHPH podcast will review current screening recommendations and discuss challenges faced by health center programs and promising practices to increase colorectal cancer screening among public housing residents and other patients served by health centers in or immediately accessible to public housing, and it will help health centers to improve their health center framework maturity level by addressing needs such as outreach, equity, and patient care related to colorectal cancer screening.
