Abstract
  • The best way to reach the goal of 80% adherence to screening for colorectal cancer is through a national multilevel initiative that includes policy makers, community organizations, and payors, as well as health care organizations, health care practitioners, and the public, as was done in the state of Delaware. The challenge is to convince other states and the United States as a whole to adopt Delaware's strategy. We offer the challenge—who will accept?
