Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:
Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results from...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Primary Healthcare Services01:30

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Summary

Community-based fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) effectively reaches individuals outside traditional primary care, showing promising colorectal cancer (CRC) screening outcomes. This strategy addresses screening disparities in underserved populations.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Cancer Screening
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death in the US, with significant screening disparities.
  • Existing CRC screening programs often target patients already in primary care.
  • The ACCESS initiative aims to reach individuals lacking traditional healthcare access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate the implementation and feasibility of the ACCESS initiative.
  • Assess CRC screening outcomes, including fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) positivity rates.
  • Examine follow-up colonoscopy completion and financial aspects of the program.

Main Methods:

  • Distributed FIT kits in community settings to average-risk individuals aged 45-75.
  • Targeted individuals facing barriers to routine preventive screening.
  • Collected data on FIT distribution, results, and follow-up colonoscopy completion.

Main Results:

  • A 36.7% response rate was observed among 799 distributed FIT kits.
  • The FIT positivity rate was 16.4%, with higher rates in individuals without recent primary care visits.
  • Follow-up colonoscopy completion was 29.2% for positive FIT cases.

Conclusions:

  • Community-based FIT outreach is feasible for individuals outside traditional primary care.
  • The ACCESS initiative provides insights into screening outcomes and follow-up challenges.
  • Exploratory financial analysis indicated higher reimbursement for FIT-prompted colonoscopies.
