National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month: CDC's Screen for LifeReaches Big Milestone!

CDC's Screen for Life campaign marks its 20thanniversary in 2019. This groundbreaking and evidence-based public awareness campaign has grown and evolved through the years, developing a broad range of materials and resources for the public, health care providers, and partners in every state and several tribal departments of health. Most significantly, in the two decades since the campaign began, screening rates have increased from about 34% to about 62%. This March, during National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, Screen for Life is launching new radio public service announcements (PSAs) in English and Spanish, as well as a paid digital and social media initiative. New shareable graphics are also available for program partners and others to use to draw awareness to the benefits of colorectal cancer screening. Please join us!
