Estimated Cost of Screening Promotion Activities Per Eligible Person Screened based on Hypothetical Scenarios of Increases in State Level Screening Rates.

	Cost per case
	1% increase:	5% increase:	10% increase:
Mean	$177.13 (±75.43)	$35.43 (±15.08)	$17.71 (±7.54)
Range	$7.33–$881.02	$1.47–$176.20	$0.73–$88.10
% under $10	4	24	48
% under $50	24	72	96

% under $200	72	100	100

Notes:

For example, if there was a 1% increase in screening rates, 72% of the grantees would incur cost of less than $200 per person while only 4% of grantees would incur cost less than $10 per person screened.

The purpose of the CRCCP is to promote colorectal cancer (CRC) screening to increase population-level screening rates and, subsequently, to reduce CRC incidence and mortality.

In 2012 the national screening rate was 65.5% (65.1–65.9), and the grantee screening rate was 67.5% (66.9–68.1) (BRFSS 2012).
