Colorectal cancer screening is critically important for early detection,
prevention, and reduced mortality. Yet adults with intellectual
Developmental Disabilities (IDD), especially people living in rural
Alaska communities, experience many barriers to accessing colorectal
cancer and other screenings. These barriers include but are not limited
to health literacy, communication challenges, physical accessibility,
provider bias, support systems and transportation/logistics. This
session brings Alaska healthcare professionals and Home and
Community-based Waiver care coordinators together to share thoughts and
ideas about how to improve access to colorectal cancer screenings for
Alaskans with IDD. Join community health care professionals and program
administrators from ANTHC, APCA, and SDS Training staff for a
facilitated discussion.
Participants will earn 2 hours Care Coordinator CEH
