ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Assessing factors associated with being up-to-date with colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is important for identifying populations for which targeted interventions may be needed.METHODS:
This study used Medicare and private insurance claims data for residents of North Carolina to identify up-to-date status in the 10th year of continuous enrollment in the claims data and in available subsequent years. USPSTF guidelines were used to define up-to-date status for multiple recommended modalities. Area Health Resources Files provided geographic and health care service provider data at the county level. A generalized estimating equation logistic regression model was used to examine the association between individual- and county-level characteristics and being up-to-date with CRC screening.RESULTS:
From 2012-2016, 75% of the sample (n = 274,660) age 59-75 was up-to-date. We identified several individual- (e.g., sex, age, insurance type, recent visit with a primary care provider, distance to nearest endoscopy facility, insurance type) and county-level (e.g., percentage of residents with a high school education, without insurance, and unemployed) predictors of being up-to-date. For example, individuals had higher odds of being up-to-date if they were age 73-75 as compared to age 59 [OR 1.12 (1.09, 1.15)], and if living in counties with more primary care physicians [OR 1.03 (1.01, 1.06)].CONCLUSION:
This study identified 12 individual- and county-level demographic characteristics related to being up-to-date with screening to inform how interventions may optimally be targeted.Palavras-chave
