Disparities associated with all of themEffective tests or interventions for allPrograms available that provide them for free Why these six?

Ever had a colonoscopy (ages ≥ 50) 2-1-1 callers (n=107) vs. Missouri vs. U.S.
Telephone follow-up 2 weeks later • What did they think of the mailed referrals? • Did they make a call and/or schedule an appointment?
Reactions to mailed referrals (n=39) Outcome % Recall getting referral 92% Recall getting mailing 54% Read all of mailing 41% Liked mailing a lot 62% Very easy to understand 67% Called referral agency 26% Made an appointment 13%
Willingness to participateAmong 2-1-1 callers in pilot study
