  • * Any colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) test included completion of fecal occult blood tests, flexible sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy during year 1 of the Systems of Support to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening Trial (SOS). All patients were overdue for CRCS.

  • Relative risk (RR) of screening in the exposure group relative to the group with ≤4 months of exposure to a patient-centered medical home (PCMH), adjusted for age, sex, race, education, and prior CRCS.

  • Adjusted difference is the percentage screened in the exposure group minus the percentage screened in group with ≤4 months of exposure to a PCMH, adjusted for age, sex, race, education, and prior CRCS.

  • CI, confidence interval.
