Development of a practical model for targeting patient decision support interventions to promote colorectal cancer screening in vulnerable populations.
The authors sought to develop a practical model for predicting probability of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening completion in a diverse safety-net population and a subsequent framework for targeting screening promotion interventions. Their model and framework may be useful for designing and delivering targeted interventions to promote CRC screening.

Outreach for annual colorectal cancer screening: a budget impact analysis for community health centers.
This budget impact analysis investigated benefits and costs of fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) outreach-with FIT kits mailed to patients, followed by reminders and phone calls-compared with point-of-care (POC) strategies. Cost per patient screened was $20.60 for POC and $71.84 for outreach ($51.24 difference). Outreach costs decreased by approximately one fourth under optimized workflows.
