Footnotes:
[1] The official Healthy People 2010 objective is to increase the proportion of adults aged 50+ who have ever received a sigmoidoscopy to 50%. Since both sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy are considered acceptable methods for colorectal cancer screening, we restated this goal as to increase the proportion of adults aged 50+ who have ever received an endoscopy (i.e., a sigmoidoscopy or a colonoscopy) to 50%.
[2] Age adjusted to the 2000 standard population using age groups 50-64y and 65+y.
[3] Trend assumed to be flat after the Healthy People 2010 objective is met.
[4] The NHIS questions on endoscopy use vary by year. Prior to the year 2000, respondents were asked if they ever had a proctoscopic exam. In 2000 and 2003, respondents were asked if they ever had a sigmoidoscopy, a colonoscopy, or a proctoscopy.
