Description:

Purchased/Referred Care Delivery Areas (PRCDA) are counties that contain federally recognized tribal lands or are adjacent to tribal lands. Race classification for the American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) population is more accurate in these counties.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is cancer that occurs in the colon and rectum. Common risk factors include—

• Age over 50 years.

• Alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, lack of physical activity, a low-fiber and high-fat diet, a diet high in red and processed meats, and overweight and obesity.

• Inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, or a personal or family history of CRC.

The AI/AN population experiences excess CRC in many regions. Early detection of CRC through screening can help to reduce mortality.
