                <br/>
                The BRFSS 2020 colorectal cancer screening questions changed to include five test types (FIT, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, FIT-DNA, and CT colonography) compared to three types (FIT, sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy) included previously. Estimates of people getting colorectal cancer screening are higher than in previous years. For more information, visit: <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/colorectal/statistics/use-screening-tests-BRFSS.htm">Use of Colorectal Cancer Screening Tests</a>.

                <br/>
                1.Sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy are exams in which a tube is inserted in the rectum to view the colon for 
                signs of cancer or other health problems.  Have you ever had either of these exams?
                <br/>
                1-1. How long has it been since you had your last sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy? 
                <br/>
                2. A blood stool test is a test that may use a special kit at home to determine whether the stool contains blood. 
                Have you ever had this test using a home kit?
                <br/>
                2-1. How long has it been since you had your last blood stool test using a home kit? 
                <br/>
                Starting in 2011, adults are defined as having met the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) Guidelines 
                for colorectal cancer screening if they fall into any of the following categories 
                based on their responses to the above questions: (1) FOBT annually, (2) colonoscopy every 10 years, 
                or (3) sigmoidoscopy every 5 years with FOBT every 3 years.
