This document reports the initiative stemming in 2004 from a proposal of the network of Comitati per le Pari Opportunità, (CPO: Committees for equal opportunities) of six institutions in the public sector aiming at developing a cancer prevention programme, addressed to the workers in the Latium Region, in cooperation with many technical partners such as Agenzia di Sanità Pubblica Regione Lazio (Public Health Agency of Latium Region), Croce Rossa Italiana (Italian Red Cross), Università degli Studi “La Sapienza” di Roma (University of Rome “La Sapienza”). The report is composed of two main parts and an introduction by the CPO containing a detailed description of all the phases of the initiative: the divulgation campaign (nearly 30,000 brochures distributed to the personnel); free screening tests for the early diagnosis of colon cancer (more than 3000 tests performed and additional clinical investigations for the positive tests); social research on the motivations and demands for prevention, along with a methodological note and statistical addendum. The initiative was promoted in May 2005 and ended in May 22, 2006 when the results were presented in Rome.
