dc.description	Findings suggest the need for tailored information that addresses the logistics of colon cancer screenings, risk factors for colon cancer and the consequences of colon cancer for certain patient demographics. Furthermore, interventions to educate those who are not as informed, such as those with low income or low health literacy, not employed, and lower education level are needed to ensure everyone has equal access to health screening.	en_US
dc.description.abstract	Researchers have explored fear and other barriers that prevent screening for cancer; most importantly studying factors that might contribute to health disparities. Colorectal cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer in the world but it can be prevented or caught at an early stage through colonoscopy. This study analyzed possible barriers to receiving a colonoscopy and follow up care relating to patient factors.	en_US
