Five-year age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates were calculated, and comparisons were made between non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White groups using rate ratios. Distributions by cancer stage were compared between time periods by race/ethnicity utilizing chi-square statistical tests. The prevalence of Delawareans meeting recommendations for CRC screening was compared between time points for each race/ethnicity group using the Rao-Scott Modified chi-square test. <b>Results.</b> Comparing 2006-2010 and 2015-2019, CRC incidence rates decreased for non-Hispanic Black Delawareans from 51.0 to 39.6 per 100,000 population and decreased for non-Hispanic White Delawareans from 46.6 to 37.6 per 100,000 population. Between 2006-2010 and 2015-2019, CRC mortality rates decreased for non-Hispanic Black Delawareans from 16.8 to 15.1 per 100,000 population and decreased for non-Hispanic White Delawareans from 16.8 to 13.3 per 100,000 population. There were no significant differences in CRC incidence or mortality rates by race/ethnicity in either period. The distribution of cases by stage comparing 2006-2010 and 2015-2019 were not significantly different for either race/ethnicity group. There were no significant differences in meeting CRC screening recommendations comparing 2010 and 2018 by race/ethnicity or directly comparing race/ethnicity groups in either year. <b>Conclusions.</b> Delaware has sustained improvements in CRC incidence, mortality rates, and disparities between non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White groups but will continue to monitor CRC trends and outcomes to ensure early diagnosis and that disparities are eliminated.</p>","PeriodicalId":72774,"journal":{"name":"Delaware journal of public health","volume":"10 3","pages":"38-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11356590/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142115597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
