Colonoscopy Driving Time Statistics
The average driving time to a colonoscopy appointment is approximately 30 minutes.
In this post, we explore the relationship between driving time and colonoscopy adherence, backed by a collection of compelling statistics. From the impact of reducing travel time on screening rates to the disparities in access among different populations, these data points shed light on the importance of addressing transportation barriers in promoting preventive healthcare practices. Join us as we dissect the role of driving time in colonoscopy uptake and examine strategies for improving patient access and compliance.
