Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. While patient-reported barriers have been previously described, few studies have analyzed how patients' social needs affect screening rates. ⋯ Even within a fully insured population with high screening rates, respondents with financial strain, social isolation, and food insecurity had lower odds of being up to date with CRC screening. Future efforts should assess how addressing patients' social needs could lead to increased CRC screening rates.
