Paid sick leave increased the likelihood of having a usual source of care (OR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.31, 1.87) and was directly associated with CRC screening (OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.28). Health insurance increased the likelihood of having a usual source of care (OR = 5.32, 95% CI: 4.30, 6.58) and CRC screening (OR = 3.22, 95% CI: 2.58, 4.02).
