Footnotes:
[1] The official Healthy People 2010 objective is to increase the proportion of adults aged 50+ receiving a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) in the past two years to 50%. The location of the test (i.e., home or office) was not specified. Since the sensitivity for detecting advanced neoplasia is much higher for home-based FOBTs (23.9%) than for office-based FOBTs (4.9%) (Collins et al., Ann Intern Med 2005), we restated the Healthy People 2010 goal as to increase the proportion of adults aged 50+ receiving a home-based FOBT in the past two years 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 regarding history of FOBT vary by year. In the 2000 and 2003, respondents were asked when they had their last home-based FOBT (red diamonds). Prior to 2000, respondents were asked when they had their last FOBT and whether their last FOBT was a home- or an office-based test. We used two approaches to estimate the proportion receiving a home-based FOBT in the past two years prior to the year 2000. In one approach we assumed that if the last test was an office-based FOBT, then the person would not have had a home-based test in the previous two years (red stars). In the second approach we estimated the proportion having a home-based FOBT prior to 2000 assuming that the proportion of total FOBTs that are home-based is the same as the proportion observed in 2000 (red crosses).
