The Colorectal Cancer Alliance (CCA) and the American Cancer Society (ACS) have teamed up to present YourColonIs45.org — an initiative aimed at promoting colorectal cancer screening for individuals aged 45 and above.
The website connects users to the CCA’s quiz for a personalized screening recommendation and the ACS’s screening locator. It also lets users send unique e-cards to family, friends, and colleagues to encourage colorectal cancer screening starting at age 45.
A free social media toolkit is available for users to share pre-made social media posts promoting on-time screening beginning at 45.
