This study evaluates relationships among race, access to endoscopy services, and colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality in Washington state (WA). We overlayed the locations of ambulatory endoscopy services with place of residence at time of death, using Department of Health data (2011–2018). We compared CRC mortality data within and outside a 10 km buffer from services. We used linear regression to assess the impact of distance and race on age at death while adjusting for gender and education level.
