Rate of colon cancer screening in N.S. is low. This researcher is determined to find out why

Arlinda Ruco wants to determine if there are barriers holding people back from doing the at-home cancer screening tests. Her goal is to come up with innovative ways to convince people to participate.

Nova Scotia sends out about 180,000 at-home kits to screen for colon cancer, but less than half are sent back to the lab to be checked. Arlinda Ruco will spend the next five years trying to change that.
