Colorectal cancer screening interventions in 2 health care systems serving disadvantaged populations: Screening uptake and cost ‐effectiveness

ConclusionsIn both health systems, the multicomponent interventions implemented likely resulted in improvements in CRC screening. The results suggest that significant increases in CRC screening uptake can be achieved in federally qualified health centers when appropriate technical support and health system commitment are present. The cost estimates of the multicomponent interventions suggest that these interventions and support activities can be implemented in a cost ‐effective manner.
