This Guidebook is based on new market research from the American Cancer Society with guidance from the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable Public Awareness Task Group. The Communications Guidebook is designed to help educate, empower and mobilize three key audiences who are not getting screened for colorectal cancer.

  • The financially challenged

The goal of this guidebook is to share what we know about reaching these hard-to-persuade groups using new tested messages. Use link to access this new resource

Also new in 2016 is the Hispanics/Latinos and Colorectal Cancer Companion Guide, which introduces new market research about unscreened Hispanics/Latinos and includes new Spanish tested messages.
