Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Amy R Welch"
Amy R Welch's research primarily focuses on colorectal cancer (CRC) screening trends, specifically examining the disparities among high-risk populations such as smokers, obese individuals, and those with diabetes.
Her 2014 study highlighted that while CRC screening is on the rise among high-risk groups, current smokers are significantly less likely to participate in screenings, suggesting a gap in preventive care.
Welch's work emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to improve screening rates in these vulnerable populations to ensure equitable access to cancer prevention resources.
