Cancer. 2020; 126: 1351-1353 Crossref PubMed Scopus (17) Google Scholar reported that CRC screening participation among adults aged 45–49 years increased from 4.8% in early 2018 to 11.7% in late 2018, coincident with updated ACS guidelines.

To address this gap, we examined trends in CRC screening participation through 2019 in a nationally representative sample.
