Biography
Dr. Weiss's research focuses on colorectal cancer screening for both average-risk and high-risk populations. Her research has involved a survey of UW Health primary care providers to further understand potential sources of variation in colorectal cancer screening rates. She is currently working with the UW Health Colon Cancer Prevention Initiative to use the information gathered from her survey to inform the development and implementation of system-wide colorectal cancer screening interventions. She is interested in tailoring future interventions to primary care providers in order to increase the impact and sustainability of our current colorectal cancer screening interventions. Dr. Weiss is also interested in screening in patients with hereditary colon cancer syndromes and such as Lynch Syndrome and Familial Adenomatous Polyposis.
