Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States. The opportunity for nurse practitioners (NPs) to initiate preventive measures to guide early detection of CRC is great given its slow progression. We present a collaborative project between a state NP association and colleagues from the Medical Affairs Division of a pharmaceutical company to develop an electronic survey to assess NP knowledge, beliefs, and practice patterns for CRC screening. Survey data identified that NP knowledge of CRC screening guidelines is variable and may contribute to low screening rates.
