The Comprehensive Cancer Control Program of Idaho wants to reduce the burden of cancer and works to address cancer through prevention, early detection and survivorship activities.

The program focuses on the prevention and early detection of breast, lung, colorectal, cervical, and skin cancers.

These efforts include:
 Reduce cancer risk
 Find cancers earlier
 Improve treatments
 Increase the number of people who survive cancer
 Improve quality of life for cancer survivors

To support the above efforts, we need help from the community to determine cancer screening “motivators and barriers” for those aged 21-75.

Please complete the survey by clicking here https://app.keysurvey.com/f/1432301/e72f/
