Table 2 Characteristics of non faith-based organizations (N = 22) that did and did not adopt the program to increase CRC screening among their members

P-values are from two-sample t tests for continuous variables and Fisher exact test for dichotomous variables. Estimated number of Filipino American members was log-transformed prior to the t test.
SD, standard deviation.
^aLogistic regression for the outcome of adoption, controlling for previous exposure to CRC studies (no exposure vs. previous exposure).
