Michigan Data Reports

• Colorectal Cancer in Michigan: State Capacity for Screening (2002-2003) (March 2006) (available as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation)**
  As part of an assessment of the U.S. healthcare system's capacity to perform colorectal cancer screening tests and follow-up for the U.S. population aged 50 and older, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initiated the National Survey of Endoscopic Capacity (SECAP). From 2002 through 2005, 15 selected states worked to estimate their capacity for colorectal cancer screening and follow-up exams. This presentation includes an overview of Michigan's findings. The results of the survey will be used to identify deficits in the current medical infrastructure, as well as to provide critical baseline information for use in planning national initiatives aimed at increasing colorectal cancer screening.

The Special Cancer Behavioral Risk Factor Survey (SCBRFS) is an ongoing surveillance designed to measure progress toward achieving several priorities of the Michigan Cancer Consortium. The first baseline SCBRFS was conducted in 2001-2002. The results from the 2004 SCBRFS and future surveys will be compared against this baseline data in order to evaluate the progress in cancer-related behaviors and knowledge within the Michigan adult population. The Michigan Department of Community Health Cancer Prevention and Control Section provides the funding for conducting the SCBRFS. The survey was designed and coordinated by evaluation staff at the Michigan Public Health Institute and data collection was performed by the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research at Michigan State University.

• Colorectal Cancer Interventions in Local Public Health Jurisdictions with High Mortality Counties (December 2005)
  In October 2004, a one-year project was kicked off with three MCC member organizations, Chippewa Health Department, Genesee County Health Department and District #10 Health Department, to identify the barriers to early detection of colorectal cancer in their respective localities. The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) and Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI) funded the project with monies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in support of the MCC.

• End of Life in Michigan: Needs Assessment Report (published April 2005)
  This report presents the findings of an assessment of end-of-life needs and services in Michigan. The impetus for the project was two-fold. First, public health consultants in the Michigan Department of Community Health Cancer Prevention and Control Section recognized end of life as a legitimate state public health issue, having participated with a variety of partners in a number of efforts to advance end-of-life care in Michigan. They shared the common concern about the impact of unstable funding sources on program sustainability. Second, research scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention validated end of life as a national public health issue (Rao, Anderson, & Smith, 2002).
