Your work is such a great example of how we really need to ask communities and individuals about their experiences, not make assumptions about them. Well done - and it sounds like you will be able to design much better interventions as a result of having taken this approach.
CRC is an important area for health disparities work. As I mentioned to
others for this assignment, it is important to recognize that CRC screening
itself is not the "health disparity" but rather a disparity in
process that leads in the health disparity of differences in morbidity and
mortality from CRC. Keeping that distinction in mind can be helpful to keep our
eye on the actual health disparity we are working on, even as we address process
outcomes on the pathway.
I appreciate you linking the behavorial factors to the broader determinants - your answer to that part of question 2 will be very relevant to the lecture we are having tomorrow.
