The effect of peer support on colorectal cancer patients' adherence to guideline-concordant multidisciplinary care.
Dis Colon Rectum 2018 Jul;61(7):817-23. doi: 10.1097/dcr.0000000000001067.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of peer support on the attitudes of patients with colorectal cancer toward chemotherapy and their adherence to it. The study demonstrated that exposure to peer support is associated with higher adjuvant chemotherapy adherence.

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.
