Main findings

• Patients were thrilled to have services come to their communities. • Some reported difficulty getting appointments with their local physicians and long wait times. • The inability to find female physicians or physicians they did not work with or attend gatherings with was a barrier to screening in rural/remote communities. • Many women told us they would have signed up their husbands for FIT had they known that men could go.
