- During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, some CDC-funded cancer screening programs managed to maintain screening volumes for breast and cervical cancer despite challenges posed by high state COVID-19 positivity rates.
- A multi-case study involving 22 interviews highlighted the actions these successful programs took, such as streamlining administrative processes, enhancing patient safety protocols, and improving patient engagement through education and reminders.

Purpose: Rural community-based organizations (CBOs) serving immigrant communities are critical settings for implementing evidence-based interventions (EBIs). The Implementation Studio is a training and consultation program focused on facilitating the selection, adaptation, and implementation of cancer prevention and control EBIs. This paper describes implementation and evaluation of the Implementation Studio on CBO's capacity to implement EBIs and their clients' knowledge of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and intention to screen.
