Colorectal cancer screening preferences among physicians and individuals at average risk: A discrete choice experiment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Guidelines include several options for average-risk colorectal cancer (CRC) screening that vary in aspects such as invasiveness, recommended frequency, and precision. Thus, patient and provider preferences can help identify an appropriate screening strategy. This study elicited CRC screening preferences of physicians and individuals at average risk for CRC (IAR).

Methods
