New ACS Resource: CRC Screening Guide for Coalitions
The Guide Was Created to Help Coalitions Increase CRC Screening in the Communities They Serve
This new guide from the American Cancer Society (ACS) will help build your coalition’s capacity to address colorectal cancer screening. It is designed to share information relevant to cancer control planning. It includes guidelines, data, opportunities to engage partners, and interventions to activate and advance colorectal cancer screening initiatives to support your cancer planning process. The guide is now available in the ACS NCCRT Resource Library.
The ACS acknowledges and thanks the CDC for its support of ACS staff, and in the development and dissemination of this learning session, under cooperative agreement NU58DP007540 awarded to the ACS. The learning community’s contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of CDC.
