Best Culturally Sensitive Outreach & Education

Fnu Vikash, MD, M.Med & Sindhu Vikash, MD Bronx, NY

Colorectal Cancer Awareness Campaign Among Underprivileged Southeast Asian Community (Pakistani) in New York

Dr. Fnu Vikash and Dr. Sindhu Vikash initiated a CRC awareness campaign in Urdu that included interactive sessions and the distribution of FIT kits, informational flyers in Urdu, and a one-minute video emphasizing the importance of spreading awareness within their social circles. Importantly, they noticed a distinct lack of Pakistani women’s voices due to the prevailing stigma associated with discussing private health matters in public spaces. In response, Dr. Sindhu Vikash held a separate lecture for women in a private room, respecting their customs and culture, while sharing critical information about CRC.

Best Culturally Sensitive Outreach & Education

One Brooklyn Health Brooklyn, NY

Screen, Detect, Prevent

One Brooklyn Health implemented a variety of activities spanning print, digital, and social media platforms. This included interviews on local TV stations. To engage with their predominantly Creolespeaking Haitian population, Dr. Charles Michel Jose and Dr. Brunhilde Helias conducted a live radio broadcast in Haitian Creole, which was livestreamed on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. During the presentation, Dr. Helias emphasized colon cancer mortality statistics, the preventable nature of the disease, and the various screening methods available, highlighting the importance of early detection and prevention. OBH also established CRC awareness booths to disseminate information about CRC, its signs and symptoms, the importance of screening, and available preventive measures.

Best High-Impact Community Event

Kadirawel Iswara, MD, FACG, FACP & Detective

Roxanne Joseph Brooklyn, NY

Colon Cancer Awareness and Prevention Event in the Special Population African American Community of Brooklyn South

Dr. Iswara and Detective Roxanne Joseph, an African African woman in the NYPD, collaborated to hold a CRC awareness forum to increase visibility of the need for screening and importance of prevention, particularly within her community and among NYPD families, many of whom share African and Caribbean heritage. Det. Joseph, who was diagnosed with CRC at age 41 by Dr. Iswara, shared her personal journey with CRC diagnosis and treatment. They aimed to build on the sense of community among first responders, residents, and local government officials to shed light on the critical need for CRC screening. Coverage on ABC’s Good Morning America and in local newspapers and police journals helped to amplify this message. A special citation and award was also issued by the NYC Council and NYPD.

Best High-Impact Media Initiative

Gemma Rolle, MD Nassau, Bahamas

In the Shadow of Risk: A Live Colonoscopy

Dr. Rolle, the only female gastroenterologist in the Bahamas, led an initiative showcasing a live colonoscopy on a national primetime show with the country’s top journalist Jerome Sawyer. It was an hourlong show covering the entire process from the office consultation with bowel prep instruction to the actual colonoscopy and immediately thereafter. The aim of the project was to demystify the colonoscopy process and alleviate fears associated with undergoing screening colonoscopy. The show, aired during primetime television, also allowed Dr. Rolle and Mr. Sawyer to reach a large audience to share information about CRC risks and the importance of regular screenings.

Best Initiative Serving American Indian and Alaska Native Populations

Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, Great Plains Tribal Leaders Health Board & South Puget

Intertribal Planning Agency

Portland, OR

Creating Meaningful Colorectal Health Messages in American Indian and Alaska Native Communities

Two projects were developed by Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, one in conjunction with the Great Plains Tribal Leaders Health Board and one with the South Puget Intertribal Planning Agency, aiming to empower American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) members in Rapid City, South Dakota, five tribal communities in Washington state (Chehalis, Nisqually, Skokomish, Squaxin Island, Shoalwater Bay) to develop and share tailored messages. They conducted community-based research to develop culturally responsive CRC screening messages that resonated with the community. This included incorporating multigenerational concepts into CRC messaging; using storytelling; incorporating traditional language, traditions, cultural values, and imagery; and acknowledging historical trauma. They developed print (pamphlets, posters, fact sheets, postcards, FIT instructions, and visual stories) and digital (animated and live-action video) resources.

Best Initiative to Achieve a Clean Colon

Johns Hopkins Hospital-Endoscopy

Baltimore, MD

March Madness: Colon Cancer Awareness & Bowel Prep Bash

In collaboration with Johns Hopkins GI faculty, endoscopy nursing team, Senior Director of Patient Education & Engagement, WebMD, HIA Ignite, and sponsors, an educational event was held for hospital employees, such as bedside nurses and clinical staff who assist with prepping inpatients. The objective was to collaborate with these important beside staff with the ultimate goal of improving colon prep quality of inpatients to decrease cancellations and extended hospitalizations due to failed preps, while optimizing procedure room utilization. The event included an inflatable colon, and hands-on stations that demonstrated polyp removal and the importance of colon prep to ensure bowel cleanliness and readiness.

Best International Effort

Guatemalan Initiative for Colorectal Cancer Awareness (IGUAC)

Guatemala City, Guatemala

Guatemalan Initiative for Colorectal Cancer Awareness/Iniciativa Guatemalteca contra el Cáncer Colorrectal (IGUAC)

Guatemalan Initiative for Colorectal Cancer Awareness (IGUAC) developed a multimedia campaign, forging partnerships with Roosevelt Hospital’s Gastroenterology Department, the University of San Carlos’s School of Medicine, and other key stakeholders to increase awareness of CRC screening and prevention. They used social media platforms, collaborated with the National Secretary of Science and Technology of Guatemala for a podcast, and partnered with media for interviews on Radio Universidad and popular Guatemalan national news outlet Guatevision “Viva La Mañana.” They also created culturally and linguistically relevant materials in Spanish and Q’eqchi’, a Mayan language.

Best Multi-Channel Colorectal Cancer Awareness Campaign by GI Fellows

Mayo Clinic Gastroenterology and Hepatology Fellowship Program Rochester, MN

Illuminating Colorectal Cancer Awareness: A Mayo Clinic Media Initiative

The Mayo Clinic Gastroenterology and Hepatology Fellowship Program launched a four-week social media campaign with videos that presented four to five key facts about CRC in 45 seconds. These videos covered critical topics such as the screening process itself, who should undergo screening, and the types of screening available. They also featured videos and messages with experts and patients, and highlighted recent innovations in research. They also orchestrated a CRC Awareness Month proclamation ceremony with Mayor Kim Norton, participated in fundraising efforts, and leveraged internal Mayo Clinic and external public news channels to advocate for early CRC screening.

Best Resident Initiative in Improving Screening

The Unique Role of Residents as Patient Care Navigators on CRC Screening Rates in the Primary Care Clinic

At Downstate Health Sciences University, residents served the unique role of patient care navigators to increase the clinic’s rate of CRC screening for their largely underserved, low literacy, and vulnerable patient population. The residents counseled patients on CRC screening to provide screening options and followed up with the clinic care coordinator to mail at-home FIT tests or provide ambulatory referrals to the GI clinic, depending on the patient’s preference and availability. This intervention allowed the residents to play an integral role in screening, support vulnerable populations, and develop skills in empathy early in their medical careers.

Best Social Media Campaign by GI Fellows & Residents

American College of Gastroenterology Evidence-Based GI (EBGI) Social Media Ambassadors

#EBGIvsCRC Colorectal Cancer Awareness Campaign

Evidence-Based GI social media ambassadors expanded their CRC awareness campaign in 2024 to span the entire month, focusing on dispelling myths about CRC screening among patients and providing guidance for patients and materials for clinicians. This included short videos uncovering myths, revealing facts, and answering common questions. Also featured were a healthy food challenge emphasizing the impact of diet on gastrointestinal health, a video walking viewers through the entire process of having a colonoscopy, and CRC fact tweets covering topics such as symptoms of CRC, guidelines and options for screening, and common conditions associated with CRC.

Best Spanish Language Colorectal Cancer Awareness Campaign

Dan L. Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX

Like, Retweet, Save Lives: Colorectal Cancer Awareness Campaign

The team from Dan L. Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center adapted existing media assets funded by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) to create enticing short-form videos featuring patient actors from various backgrounds, procedure demonstrations, and colorful animated captions to explain medical screenings like colonoscopies and FIT testing. These bilingual videos, available in both English and Spanish, mimic the style of popular social media content to enhance interest and engagement. By appealing to current media consumption trends, they were able to repurpose messaging and achieve greater engagement to raise CRC awareness.

Best Virtual Education Event

The Association of Black Gastroenterologists and Hepatologists (ABGH)

New York, NY

Real Talk: Why are So Many Young Black People Getting Colorectal Cancer?

ABGH hosted an online webinar panel discussion focused on the alarming rise of CRC cases in young adults, including in Black communities. The panel included two CRC survivors, one caregiver, and two gastroenterologists to discuss CRC risk in Black people, symptoms to know, and ways to prevent CRC through lifestyle changes and screening. There were 173 attendees with 100% response rate to a poll during the webinar and 39 audience questions, demonstrating high audience engagement and a continued need for education and support resources for young Black individuals regarding CRC prevention and early detection.

Grand SCOPY

Veterans Health Administration National Colorectal Cancer Screening Program Washington, DC

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Cancer Moonshot Colorectal Cancer Screening Awareness Campaign

The VA National Colorectal Cancer Screening Program aimed to reach veterans at average risk for CRC, as well as VA providers and employees who can help make sure eligible veterans know that they have CRC screening options available to them. They developed a new suite of materials that included contributions to the White House Unity Agenda Fact Sheet released alongside the 2024 State of the Union address, internal emails, public articles, a new webpage promoting VA’s at-home screening options, and production of a new PSA-style CRC screening video. They also created social media toolkits, print materials, digital posters, and a decision-aid tool. This campaign was also designed to help amplify the ongoing mailed FIT program efforts initiated by the VA in late 2022 which currently include ~55 VA facilities, distributing ~15,000-20,000 FIT kits per month in addition to ~100,000 FIT kits ordered for veterans each month through screening efforts.

SCOPY Advancing Quality Award

Mount Sinai Morningside/West Residents

New York, NY

Increasing Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates Among Patients at a Federally Qualified Health Center

Internal medicine residents at Mount Sinai Morningside/West conducted interventions to update providers on screening guidelines and increase patient understanding of screening options. These interventions included a patient pre-intervention quiz, educational lectures with a follow-up knowledge assessment for residents, informational posters in patient rooms, daily pre-clinic resident reminders, and two-minute educational videos for patients on appropriate stool test collection. These strategies resulted in the overall rates of ordering appropriate screening tests increasing, particularly in vulnerable, historically under-screened populations. They also found that colonoscopy was more likely to be ordered as the method of screening.

SCOPY CRC Mythbuster Award

Allegheny Health Network Pittsburgh, PA

Colonoscopy “MythBusting”

The Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (GI) conducted a colonoscopy “MythBusting” marketing campaign, outreach, and education sessions to the African American community. This included outreach events at Highmark Health’s Black Organization for Leadership & Development (BOLD) Business Resource Group (BRG), Mt. Ararat Baptist Church, and the Everyday Café in the Homewood section of Pittsburgh, which serves as a community hub for health and wellness discussions. Dr. Gursimran Kochhar, Division Chief of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, and Dr. James McCormick, System Chief of Colon and Rectal Surgery, also engaged with print/online and broadcast media to share the importance of getting screened at age 45.

SCOPY Putting CRC Screening to the Test Award: Best Clinical Trial of A Community-Based Mass

Media Campaign

Men’s Health Inequities Research Lab; Milwaukee, WI

#CRCandMe: A Pre-Post Quasi-Experimental Study of a Mass Media Campaign to Increase Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer Awareness in Utah and Wisconsin

The #CRCandMe campaign to enhance knowledge and awareness of early-onset CRC among adults under age 50 ran from June to September 2023 in Utah and Wisconsin. The campaign used physical ad placements and digital assets such as short videos and reached over 26.7 million impressions and garnered nearly 43,000 clicks. Using pre- and post-intervention surveys of 161 participants, 74% correctly identified CRC signs, but only 18% correctly identified risk factors. While knowledge scores improved slightly at followup, the difference was significant only for one question: identifying CRC signs.

Spirit of SCOPY Award

Mount Sinai Hospital, Icahn School of Medicine

New York, NY

“Passport to Your Health” – Mount Sinai “Get Your Rear in the Clear” Colorectal Cancer Awareness Events in March 2024

The Mount Sinai Hospital team conducted a comprehensive CRC outreach campaign that included social media videos, multilingual educational materials and presentations, blog posts, news media interviews, and their annual CRC Awareness Fair. This year’s theme of “Passport to Your Health” was designed as a pathway with tables by various departments, moving from prevention (health education, dieticians, and genetic counseling) to screening (patient navigation, navigational nurses, and endoscopy nurses) to treatment (gastroenterology surgeons, clinical trials office, and social workers). Attendees were encouraged to stop at each table to receive educational resources, incentives, and a passport “stamp.” Once they completed every table, they were entered into a raffle for a gift card and other items.
