357 Background: CRC is predominately preventable with high quality colonoscopy screenings. Unfortunately, less than half of Americans are “up-to-date.” When referred by primary care providers, less than half complete the process. We proposed to include the primary care provider (PCP) in a novel training program to extend skills from sigmoidoscopy to full colonoscopy in a “mentored and monitored” model. We know that quality in colonoscopy can vary widely (ten fold within a single 12-man group). The protective benefits of colonoscopy reflect the thoroughness of the removal of polyps. Unfortunately, the ACS projections for 2010 predict an increase of 4,400 deaths from CRC over 2009, an 8% rise! Furthermore the death rate for African American men has RISEN 28% since 1960. We are loosing a battle for which we posses the tools to win. To achieve victory we must successfully address all three factors: compliance, capacity and quality. Methods: Thirty primary care physicians in two states (SC, FL) were recruited. We measured compliance rates within the practice before and after enrollment. We further evaluated quality of the colonoscopies as reflected in completion, yield and complications. Results: Compliance more than doubled (38% to 84%). As a compliance enhancement tool, the results were outstanding. The evaluation of quality then became of paramount importance. The gross completion rate was 98.3%, the adenoma detection rate (reflecting polyp yield) was 38%. In over 20,000 cases there were only 5 perforations, substantially below published rates. The quality was consistently at the level of experienced conscientious gastroenterologists. The details of the training program and the use of the “two-man” colonoscopy technique have been reviewed elsewhere (MEDICAL CARE, Aug 2010). Conclusions: If replicated nationally, this model has the potential for saving 25,000 lives annually. The participation of the patient's PCP is a powerful influence for improved compliance. The availability of an “expert” for mentoring and monitoring results in outstanding and consistent quality. The model has the potential to dramatically enhance compliance simultaneously increasing capacity while maintaining outstanding quality. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Objective. The goal of this pilot study was to develop and field-test questions for use as a poverty case-finding tool to assist primary care providers in identifying poverty in clinical practice. Methods. 156 questionnaires were completed by a convenience sample of urban and rural primary care patients presenting to four family practices in British Columbia, Canada. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses compared questionnaire responses with low-income cut-off (LICO) levels calculated for each respondent. Results. 35% of respondents were below the “poverty line” (LICO). The question “Do you (ever) have difficulty making ends meet at the end of the month?” was identified as a good predictor of poverty (sensitivity 98%; specificity 60%; OR 32.3, 95% CI 5.4–191.5). Multivariate analysis identified a 3-item case-finding tool including 2 additional questions about food and housing security (sensitivity 64.3%; specificity 94.4%; OR 30.2, 95% CI 10.3–88.1). 85% of below-LICO respondents felt that poverty screening was important and 67% felt comfortable speaking to their family physician about poverty. Conclusions. Asking patients directly about poverty may help identify patients with increased needs in primary care.
