Bowel Cancer Screening Alliance

The Bowel Cancer Screening Alliance, located in Carlton, Victoria, is a collaborative research initiative aimed at increasing participation in Australia's National Bowel Cancer Screening Program, which currently sees only 41% of eligible Australians participating. This alliance unites leading researchers across various disciplines to address the significant health challenge of bowel cancer by seeking solutions to improve screening rates and ultimately save lives.

By focusing on innovative research, the alliance aims to boost participation by 20%, potentially preventing an estimated 37,000 bowel cancers and 25,000 related deaths over the next two decades. The program draws on expertise from multiple fields, including epidemiology, public health, and digital technologies, to identify effective strategies for enhancing screening engagement among Australians.
