What did the researchers do and find? ➢ We calculated the baseline screening yield, participation, and cost per case detected in a national CRC screening program with a combined questionnaire-based risk assessment–FIT strategy. ➢ The baseline screening yield and participation rate were improved in the combined risk assessment–FIT group compared with risk factor assessment only group. ➢ The cost per CRC detected was $24,849 by the combined risk factor–FITs strategy, which was much
