Hello NCCRT Members, We have lots of news to share.

New Guidebook on Messaging to the Unscreened

We are excited to announce the new 2019 Colorectal Cancer Screening Messaging Guidebook: Recommended Messaging to Reach the Unscreened is now available. The guidebook is based on new market research on screened and unscreened populations and is designed to help clinicians, health plans, health organizations, employers, family members and others convince more people to get recommended screening. It includes new market-research tested messages, insights into reaching common personas, including Fearful Delayers, Invincibles, Preoccupied Busy Bees and the Financially Challenged, and other findings that will better inform our efforts to improve colorectal cancer screening rates to 80% in Every Community. We also invite you to share the findings with your members and partners. We encourage you to retweet/repost the messages on NCCRT’s Twitter and Facebook channels today. Lastly, if you missed our July 16 webinar deep dive into the market research on the unscreened, the webinar replay is now available. Thank you to the many members and partners that contributed to this update to what is likely NCCRT’s most popular resource! We are excited to see how you use these findings to reach the communities you serve. Please share any successes and feedback at [email protected].
