A Qualitative Study Exploring Barriers to Colorectal Cancer Screening Among Firefighters.

Objective: Firefighters are at increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), yet rates of CRC screening are low among this occupational group. This study examines perceived risks, barriers, and facilitators to CRC screening.

Methods: Three semistructured focus group discussions were conducted by investigators in Tucson, AZ.

Adaptation of colorectal cancer screening tailored navigation content for American Indian communities and early results using the intervention.

Background: American Indians (AI) experience major colorectal cancer (CRC) screening disparities with commensurate inequity in CRC mortality and other outcomes. The purpose of this report is to describe the methods and early results of adapting a previously successful intervention for the AI community.

Methods: The educational content and delivery strategy of the parent intervention were adapted for AIs guided by an adaptation framework and cultural consultations with the community and clinicians.
