selected for the study. While the US age adjusted CRC mortality rate for
2010-2014 was 48.9 per 100,000 when ACCSIS was initiated, the statewide rates
for Kentucky and Ohio were 57.3 and 54.3, respectively, and the rates for these
12 ACCSIS study counties were substantially higher than the state rates,
ranging from 61.2 to 111.9 per 100,000. These counties were selected due to
their high CRC mortality rates, in addition to low socioeconomic status. Within
each of the selected counties, primary health care services were recruited.
Primary healthcare partners were selected in each county and included a mixture
of federally qualified health centers (FQHC), satellite primary care clinics of
regional hospitals, and one public health department primary care clinic.
