Post a description of the most likely key stakeholders and constituencies related to your Final Project community health issue, and explain why you chose them.
Based on the most current report from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Low-income, low education level individuals are less likely to be screened for colorectal cancer, yet they are more likely to die from colorectal cancer (CDC, 2013). Focusing on men and women with low socioeconomic status as the primary stakeholders is ideal. According to the American Cancer society, both men and women are equally affected by this overproduced abnormal cell or cells growing inside the inner lining of the colon (American Cancer Society, n. d.).

It requires a collaborative leadership approach to successfully attend the goal of the project which is to significantly decrease the amount of men and women dying of colorectal cancer due to lack of screening. Engaging the community by using the environmental change and the behavioral strategies are the two most important strategies that would work better in this …show more content…
It will also be a challenge to build trust within the community and to be able to convince them of why they should be engaging and influence others to be engaged in colorectal cancer screening. It will also be a task to create a relationship with the community. After all, there must be a good rapport to truly understand and gather data that would help in keeping the focus in the implementation of the project. Other challenges are organizational trust, collaborative experience, lack of support from other needed community, and the possibility of not having an agreed upon goal (Shi, & Johnson, 2014). For example, the insurance companies may not think that it is important for everyone to be screened for colorectal cancer via colonoscopy. Since the stool, occult blood tests are to detect cancer which has already been growing in the colon, and a colonoscopy may detect a polyp before turning into cancer, the study will promote colonoscopy as a screening process (Wong, Ching, Chan, & Sung, 2015). The insurance companies reasoning could be that any testing is good enough. A colonoscopy may seem too expensive; therefore, the fecal may be the insurance companies’ recommendation. Well, the argument would be that it would cost much more to cure cancer than to remove the polyps before becoming
