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. 000000909 540__ $$fCC BY 000000909 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000909 650__ $$aRisk Factors$$025522 000000909 650__ $$aColonic Neoplasms$$016905 000000909 650__ $$aEarly Detection of Cancer$$038151 000000909 650__ $$aMethods$$022159 000000909 650__ $$aBehavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System$$035031 000000909 650__ $$aPatient Navigation$$040071 000000909 650__ $$aSocioeconomic Factors$$026134 000000909 650__ $$aRisk Factors$$025522 000000909 650__ $$aObesity$$023118 000000909 650__ $$aColon$$016901 000000909 650__ $$aEarly Detection of Cancer$$038151 000000909 650__ $$aAmerican Indian or Alaska Native$$035484 000000909 651__ $$aNorthwestern United States$$041197 000000909 651__ $$aWashington$$041180 000000909 651__ $$aPacific Northwest$$044288 000000909 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000909 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000909 7001_ $$aMaly, Annika$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000909 8564_ $$9fdab36cc-5015-4fb0-b900-c40117935883$$s261302$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/909/files/912_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2269bde11a9530fde3a4e46059d73f715$$31 000000909 905__ $$a/rest/prod/p5/54/7r/42/p5547r42c 000000909 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:909$$pstudent-work 000000909 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
