The NB Cancer Network (NBCN) wants to increase participation among NB underscreened population in its cancer screening programs; particularly the Colon (Bowel) Cancer Screening Program. Your area is one of the regions participating the least in the Colon Cancer Screening Program. Colon cancer is the 2nd cause of cancer death in the province! From January 2015 until November 2020, the Program has found 370 early colon cancers in people who had no signs or symptoms – that is more than one early cancer found per week. Screening does save lives!
The Colon Cancer Screening Program is using a simple, at-home test mailed directly to all eligible population in NB. In the coming weeks, in collaboration with your local Community Health Center, a survey will be distributed to better understand why people are not getting tested and what can be done to improve participation.
This survey should take about 5 minutes of your time. Participation in this survey is completely voluntary, and all information provided will remain anonymous and confidential. No identifying information will be used in any report or publication resulting from this survey.
For more information, please contact your local Community Health Center. Phone 882-3100 and ask for Beverly.
