We need YOU!!! CHWs PNs and Pds Community (Particularly Those in Rural CO)
In 2017, The Colorado Cancer Screening Program conducted a listening tour to better understand resistance to preventive screening for colorectal cancer. Now, the Alliance wishes to understand if these are some of the same experiences you face in the field.
We hope we can ask for your time to provide input about what issues you are facing in the field to navigate for cancer prevention for CRC and beyond, and what common issues you experience where you need help. The Alliance team has created modules for integrating motivational interviewing and how to apply its principles towards difficult to reach-populations. Your feedback about whether the approaches we are creating are consistent with the needs in your community is very valuable to us. This work is supported with a grant from the Colorado Cancer Coalition.
