目标.我们确定了纽约市两个主要的以庇护所为基础的诊所的结直肠癌（CRC）筛查率、预测因子和障碍。我们从2010年至2012年期间至少3次门诊就诊的50岁及以上无家可归和无家可归患者（n = 443）的病历中提取筛查率、社会人口学特征和与无家可归相关的因素。大多数患者为非洲裔美国人或西班牙裔，76%为男性，60.7%为无家可归者（平均= 2.4年; SD = 2.8年）。居家病人比无家可归的病人更容易接受筛查（41.3%比19.7%; P
Objectives. We determined colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates, predictors, and barriers in 2 major New York City shelter-based clinics.Methods. We extracted screening rates, sociodemographic characteristics, and factors associated with homelessness from medical records of domiciled and homeless patients aged 50 years and older (n = 443) with at least 3 clinic visits between 2010 and 2012.Results. The majority of patients were African American or Hispanic, 76% were male, and 60.7% were homeless (mean = 2.4 years; SD = 2.8 years). Domiciled patients were more likely than homeless patients to be screened (41.3% vs 19.7%; P
