Notes: CRC, colorectal cancer; Q1=Lower quartile; Q3=upper quartile

Any CRC test type=Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) within the past year; sigmoidoscopy within 5 years with FOBT within 3 years; or colonoscopy within 10 years.

Percentages are in decreasing order of state prevalence of being current with any CRC test option. Percentages for FOBT match by state.

Ranges with percentages >=15% are highlighted.
