super proud of my mom for finally getting her screening colonoscopy today after a lot of back and forth, and came across some interesting papers that delve into cultural barriers towards #CRCscreening amongst some immigrant communities 👇🏼 [thread] Image
🔸Common cultural barriers reported that were not directly associated with healthcare access:

- mistrust in Western Medicine
- religious beliefs
- cancer fatalism
- low level of health literacy
- fear or shame of procedure itself
🔸Colonoscopy facilitators:

- Culturally targeted peer-patient navigation (CTPN) was shown to ⬆️ adherence from 66% to 74.7%

- Interpersonal communication with PCP

- Storytelling

- Assistance in scheduling + navigating healthcare system Image
For practicioners caring for multiethnic patient population- what in your experience are common barriers to screening? And what are some strategies you implement in your practice to overcome fears associated with colonoscopy?
