Action Guides

Increasing Colorectal Cancer Screening and Promoting Screening Quality: An Action Guide for Engaging Employers and Professional Medical Organizations, [PDF-6.1MB] also called the Employers and Professional Medical Organizations Action Guide, is intended to help Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) grantees work with specific types of partners to promote policies, programs, and practices to increase colorectal cancer screening rates and promote high-quality screening services at the community level. Working with employers and professional medical organizations can be an efficient way to reach large numbers of people who may need better access to colorectal cancer screening.

Increasing Colorectal Cancer Screening: An Action Guide for Working with Health Systems, [PDF-4.6MB] also called the Health Systems Action Guide, is intended to help CRCCP grantees work with health systems to increase high-quality colorectal cancer screening at the population level. By helping a single health system improve its colorectal cancer screening process, a grantee can reach many people who need to be screened for colorectal cancer. This approach is more efficient than trying to reach people individually.
