Improving access to preventive health care services, such as colorectalcancer screening, for the poor and uninsured has led to better health outcomes, shows a study at DDW2023
screening, for the poor and uninsured has led to better health outcomes, shows a study presented on May 6 in Chicago at the annual Digestive Disease Week®.
"The impact of being uninsured on CRC screening participation was profound in nonexpansion states," said Dr. McLeod, who will be a UCLA gastroenterology fellow this year. Medicaid expansion status appeared to have a direct impact on whether screenings were even offered to patients. Centers in rural areas and those with a high proportion of uninsured patients were found to have significantly higher odds for doing fewer CRC screenings. In Medicaid expansion states, CRC screening rates were significantly lower for patients who were male, Black, Hispanic, had low income, were unhoused, or were uninsured.
