Cross-cultural survey development: the colon cancer screening behaviors survey for South Asian populations.
The objective of this work was to develop a survey that considered cultural relevance and diversity of South Asian populations, with the aim of describing or predicting factors that influence colorectal cancer screening intention and adherence. The initial development of the Colon Cancer Screening Behaviours Survey for South Asian populations was completed using a number of steps. This initial survey was later cross-culturally translated and adapted into the Urdu language.

Predictors of guideline concordance for surveillance colonoscopy recommendations in patients at a safety-net health system.
The aim of this study was to quantify and identify predictors for guideline-concordant surveillance recommendations after adenoma polypectomy. It found that underuse recommendations were more likely in patients with C3 adenomas; overuse recommendations were more likely in patients with high-grade dysplasia or fair prep quality and less likely in those with piecemeal resection, C3 adenomas, age>65, or Hispanic ethnicity.
