摘要

The RTI International-University of North Carolina Evidence-based Practice Center (RTIUNC EPC) prepared this report, under the auspices of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) State-of-the-Science Conference on Enhancing Use and Quality of Colorectal Cancer Screening, which is scheduled for February 2010. This report is a systematic review of evidence about the use and quality of screening for CRC focusing on four primary key questions (KQs). It also includes an initial background section (KQ 1) on trends and the current situation of use and quality, and it presents a concluding discussion on needed research (KQ 6).
