      abstract = {Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening adherence is reportedly  low among American Indians (AIs). We surveyed members of a  Pacific Northwest AI tribe using a modified Behavioral Risk  Factor Surveillance System questionnaire to assess  demographics, health status, CRC risk factors, and  screening practices. Compared to non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs)  in Washington State, tribal members reported higher  poverty, poorer health, and greater obesity prevalence.  Despite these disparities, CRC screening rates were similar  (61.3% vs. 58.7%). Older age and having a personal provider  were associated with increased adherence. Findings suggest  unique tribal characteristics may support screening despite  socioeconomic challenges.},
