We observed place-based differences in CRC survival with significantly lower survival rates in the Clayton region. Factors associated with higher risk of CRC death include older age at diagnosis, high-grade tumors, and distant stage CRC among Clayton Georgians. Our study provides important evidence to all relevant stakeholders in furthering the development of culturally tailored CRC screening interventions aimed at CRC early detection and improved outcomes.
