A Detroit-area union offers an early detection colorectal cancer screening program consistent with that recommended by the American Cancer Society. Analyses compared men who have complied with the American Cancer Society recommendations with men who have not so complied. Older men, nonsmokers, and woodworkers were most likely to participate in all screening examinations. Primary reasons for nonparticipation were the belief that the examination was unnecessary, anxiety/affective concerns; and time/motivation problems. Particularly important to the success of such programs is a sensitive health education component to address personal concerns related to the procedure, and also the dissemination of information about the efficacy of the examination for early detection of colorectal cancer.
底特律地区的一个工会提供了一项与美国癌症协会建议一致的早期检测结直肠癌筛查计划。分析比较了遵守美国癌症协会建议的男性和未遵守该建议的男性。年龄较大的男性、不吸烟者和木工最有可能参加所有筛查检查。不参加的主要原因是认为检查不必要、焦虑/情感方面的担忧以及时间/动力问题。对于此类计划的成功而言，特别重要的是要有一个敏感的健康教育组成部分，以解决与该程序相关的个人担忧，同时还要传播有关该检查对早期检测结直肠癌有效性的信息。
