Sustainability of evidence based interventions implemented in CDC's colorectal cancer control program.
Article in Implementation science communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe CDC's Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) partners with health system clinics to implement evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening prevalence. The sustainability of those EBIs is critical for the long-term success and impact of the CRCCP. This paper examines various aspects of the sustainability of these EBIs, including the factors associated with sustainability.
methodWe used Clinic Data collected by CDC for program evaluation. The study employed two definitions of sustainability and conducted a comprehensive analysis including all available information on sustainability in the Clinic Data. Our descriptive analysis included comparing frequencies and means of the outcome variable as defined in the study. Logistic regression methods were used to explore the association of multiple explanatory factors with EBI sustainability.
resultsThe results highlighted significant variations in the sustainability of different EBIs. Provider reminders were reported as sustainable by 82.0% of the clinics, while reducing structural barriers were reported as sustainable by 55.6% of the clinics. The percentage of clinics able to sustain each of the four EBIs trended upwards over time, ranging from 13 to 34 percentage points increase. Clinics that had implemented EBIs before CRCCP involvement, those that integrated multiple interventions, and those with dedicated screening champions were more likely to sustain EBIs in the long term.
conclusionsWe found substantial improvement in the sustainability of EBIs over the 5-year program period, although results varied by EBIs and room for improvement remains. The findings offer valuable insights for future implementation and sustainability of EBIs.
