Abstract

or testing. We utilized the chi square test to compare follow-up frequency with an alpha of .05.Results: We enrolled 170 patients over the course of our study. The sample was 48% female with a median age range from 55-64. The rates of compliance with screening for each cancer were: breast -52.7%; cervical -77.7%; colorectal -63.9%; and lung -20%. Approximately 41% of patients surveyed were out of screening compliance and were randomized to control vs intervention. In the control group, 20% of patients reported seeing a doctor to discuss screening vs 50% in the intervention group (p<.001). At the 30-day follow-up, 50% of the intervention group reported receiving the recommended screening.Conclusion: Our patient population demonstrated overall poor adherence to recommended cancer screening guidelines, especially with regard to lung cancer. With minimal education and an informational handout, however, we demonstrated a significant increase in cancer screening follow-up and testing.
