Proposed Project Colorectal Cancer Screening Demonstration Program ‘‘New ’’ Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The CDC is requesting approval to collect individual patient-level screening, diagnostic, and treatment data in association with a new colorectal cancer screening demonstration program. CDC is planning to fund 3–5 cooperative agreements in fiscal year (FY) 2005 to implement new colorectal cancer (CRC) demonstration programs. These 3-year demonstration programs are designed to increase population-based CRC PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 32339 screening among persons 50 years and older in a geographically defined area, focusing screening efforts on persons age 50 years and older with low incomes and inadequate or no health insurance coverage for CRC screening (priority population). Colorectal Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, following lung cancer. Based on scientific evidence which indicates that regular screening is effective in reducing CRC incidence and mortality, regular CRC screening is now recommended for average-risk persons with one or a combination of the following tests: fecal occult blood testing (FOBT), flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and/or double-contrast barium enema (DCBE). Fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) is considered an acceptable alternative to FOBT. In the absence of evidence indicating a single most effective test, selected programs will be able to choose which screening test(s) they will use from the above list of recommended tests. All funded programs will be required to submit patient-level data on CRC screening and diagnostic services provided as part of this demonstration project, which will be used to assess the quality and appropriateness of the services delivered. Programs that receive CDC funding to provide screening and diagnostic services will collect individual patientlevel data to capture demographic information and clinical services and outcomes, and submit these data to CDC on a quarterly basis. Some of the cooperative agreement recipients may receive funding for program components other than the provision of screening and diagnostic services. Programs that do not receive CDC funding to provide screening and diagnostic follow up services will still collect individual patient-level data but will only submit the data in aggregate to CDC, on a quarterly basis. Grantees may be asked by CDC to submit individualized data if aggregate data do not meet quality indicator standards. While CDC funds will not be used for treatment, programs will need to monitor treatment and document that patients are receiving appropriate treatment services. Submitted data must contain no patient identifiers. All programs will additionally submit annual program-level data to CDC to be used to evaluate program effectiveness and monitor cost, funding sources, and an increase in population-based screening over the 3-year program period.
