  • Interaction P value to test for differences in Systems of Support to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening Trial (SOS) intervention effects by level of exposure to a patient-centered medical home: P < .01 for any colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) and fecal test; P = .49 for any endoscopy.

  • * CRCS tests included completion of fecal occult blood tests, flexible sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy during year one of the SOS trial. All patients were overdue for CRCS.

  • RR = Relative Risk of CRCS testing in SOS intervention group relative to SOS usual care group, adjusted for age, sex, race, education, and prior testing.

  • Adjusted difference = percent tested in SOS intervention group relative to SOS usual care group, adjusted for age, sex, race, education, and prior CRC tests.

  • § Hemoccult SENSA.

  • CI, confidence interval; PCMH, patient-centered medical home; UC, usual care.
